Casa di Cristoforo Colombo, Historic palace near Porta Soprana, Genoa, France

The Casa di Cristoforo Colombo stands as a two-story stone building with a traditional shop space on the ground floor and living quarters above.

The structure dates back to the 18th century, rebuilt after the 1684 bombardment by Louis XIV's forces that damaged much of Genoa.

The museum displays objects and exhibits that illustrate the daily life of the Columbus family during their residence from 1455 to 1470.

The palace opens daily except Mondays, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the Porta Soprana cultural association.

This palace remains the sole building reconstructed in its original location following the extensive French naval assault on Genoa.
