Boccadasse, human settlement in Genoa, Liguria, Italy
Small grey pebble beach sits at the base of tall pastel-colored houses that form a protective semicircle around the maritime inlet.
Spanish fishermen established this settlement around 1000 CE when they found natural shelter in a rocky cove along the Ligurian coast.
The Church of Sant'Antonio da Padova contains marble floors and maritime votive offerings, representing the deep connection between local residents and the sea.
Visitors can reach the neighborhood by taking bus number 31 from Genoa Brignole station or bus 42 from Via Dante near De Ferrari metro station.
Castle Türke, constructed in 1903 by architect Gino Coppedè, stands above the village and provides views across the Ligurian coastline.
