Step into i Caruggi, Genoa’s maze of narrow medieval alleyways, and let curiosity guide you. These twisting streets — whose name comes from the ancient Latin quadrivium, meaning “crossroads” — form one of Europe’s largest and most atmospheric historic centers.
Every turn reveals something unexpected: small piazzas, ancient churches, artisan shops, and balconies bursting with flowers. Sunlight filters through the tall buildings, and voices echo softly from hidden courtyards. To wander the Caruggi is to walk through living history — intimate, mysterious, and endlessly photogenic.
