The old Genova is built around its magnificent harbor, which in the past has allowed the city to be one of the richest powers of the Mediterranean. The modern city has instead developed along the coast and is stretched between the sea and the mountains. During the centuries Genova has incorporated small villages and towns that were in the neighborhood. Today with 600,000 inhabitants Genoa remains one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean and a cultural center rich in art and natural beauty.
