Palazzo Giacomo Lomellini, UNESCO World Heritage palace in Genoa, Italy
Located at Largo Zecca 2, the palazzo unites two residential buildings with a symmetrical design and a triple-arched courtyard facing a former nymphaeum.
Giacomo Lomellini, who served as Doge from 1625 to 1627, commissioned the construction of this palace between 1619 and 1623 during Genoa's expansion period.
The interior walls display Domenico Fiasella's frescoes depicting the Stories of Esther, representing the political challenges faced by the Doge against external threats.
Since 1945, the building functions as the headquarters of the Italian Army's Operational Land Force Command, connecting military operations in the Liguria region.
The palace underwent structural modifications in 1927 when one corner was removed to expand the street section between Largo della Zecca and Piazza della Nunziata.
