The most significant castle of the Genoese architectural renewal.

The Albertis Castle, built between 1886 and 1892 in neo-Gothic style (brick and stone), is considered the most significant building of the Genoese architectural renewal. Nestled on the heights of the city, it remains little frequented by the inhabitants of Genoa, who nevertheless like to go up there from time to time to enjoy the beautiful panorama. The park, with its luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation (magnificent palm trees), is a true haven of peace with caves, secret passages and fountains; there is also a charming little café where you can take a break in the shade of the palm and pomegranate trees.

The residence of Captain Enrico Alberto De Albertis (1846-1932), a whimsical character of the end of the century, is worth a visit. It has several rooms dedicated to different themes that bring together the travel memories of the adventurous captain: the sundial room, the Colombian room dedicated to Christopher Columbus, the Turkish room and even an amusing reconstruction of a ship's cabin. Not to be missed during your visit: the cabinet of curiosities (and its many travel treasures), the sculpture of Christopher Columbus as a child and, finally, the strange captain's cabin. Not far from the latter is the Museum of World Cultures, a more classical ethnographic and archaeological museum adjacent to the historic house that offers an interesting tour of the civilizations of Central and South America, the American Indians, Asia and Oceania.

Château néogothique a Genes
This nice, small castle build at the end of 1800th century is a nice to visit place, with a small park around it and interesting collections inside. They also host exhibitions (there is one this summer, entitled "Landscapes from within"; please don't try to go by car: it is very hard to find place there! just take the bus number 36.

Ce château vaut le détour. On y découvre la vie de son habitant au fil de ses voyages et des objets qu'il a ramené. Le château est magnifique de l'extérieur comme de l'intérieur.
