Christopher Columbus House Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet inside of the Christopher Columbus House for a guided tour. Are you ready to learn about one of the most important figures in world history? Let's get started!

Located in the center of Genoa, not far from Porta Soprana and outside the ancient medieval walls, stands this reconstructed building where the navigator lived during his youth with his father.

During the visit, we'll take a look at historical data and papers that document when Dominic Columbus, the father of the great explorer, moved into this house in 1445. It'll be a real journey back in time!

Inside the house is also a museum with objects, maps, navigational instruments, documents, and letters of the famous explorer who crossed the Atlantic to the Americas. The first floor was used as a workshop, and a loft with wooden beams separates it from the upper part, where the rooms for private use were located.

After an hour of exploring the historical house, we'll say our goodbyes back at the entrance of the Christopher Columbus House.
