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, near Porta Soprana and outside the ancient medieval walls, this reconstructed building is where the navigator lived during his youth with his father.
During the visit, we'll examine historical data and documents that show when Dominic Columbus, the father of the explorer, moved into this house in 1445. It will be a real journey back in time!
Inside the house, there is a museum featuring objects, maps, navigational instruments, documents, and letters of the famous explorer who crossed the Atlantic to the Americas. The first floor served as a workshop, and a loft with wooden beams separates it from the upper rooms intended for private use.
After an hour of exploring the historical house, we'll conclude our visit back at the entrance of the Christopher Columbus House.
