Additional Information
Despite its distinction as home to the world’s second largest city wall—second only to China’s—the majority, including locals from Genoa, remain unaware of this fact. The city is surrounded by a twenty-kilometer wall, around which several forts were constructed. Discerning these fortresses can prove challenging due to their lack of promotion and scarcity of guides. During an arresting 15-kilometer trek, visitors, led by an expert guide, have the unique chance to dive deep into Genoa’s history and explore the enduring forts that still adorn the city’s hills.
