Metropolitan City of Genoa, Administrative division in Liguria, Italy

This administrative entity replaced the Province of Genoa on January 1, 2015, marking a significant reorganization of local governance in the Liguria region.
The territory contains 67 municipalities, each preserving distinct traditions from medieval times when powerful families like Fieschi and Spinola controlled the region.
