Introduction
The Doge's Palace of Genoa housed the republic's doge and supreme court, blending Gothic and Renaissance styles; inside, the Giant's Staircase and frescoed halls are sumptuous. The former 'Hall of the Republic' records the glory of a maritime power, and today it is a venue for exhibitions and culture, tied into the Old Harbour's history — one of the best starting points to read Genoa.
