House of Cristoforo Colombo, Historical civil building museum in Genoa, Italy
The House of Cristoforo Colombo stands as a two-story building near Porta Soprana, featuring a ground floor workshop and upper-level living quarters.
The Municipality of Genoa purchased this 18th-century reconstruction in 1887 to preserve the location where Christopher Columbus resided between 1455 and 1470.
The ground floor presents exhibits about maritime exploration, while the upper level displays period furnishings representing a medieval Genoese household.
The museum welcomes visitors throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages and detailed information panels in each room.
The wooden truss ceiling separating the two floors maintains the original architectural division between the workshop space and family residence.
