Boccadasse

Overview

With its little port squeezed between colourful houses and the small beach, Boccadasse is the traditional destination of Genoese when they stroll along Corso Italia. A characteristic fisherman's village, which still survives. From Boccadasse, Via Scalinata leads to Cape Santa Chiara, a spectacular viewpoint dominated by Türcke castle, designed by Gino Coppedè in 1903. The Augustinian monastery preserves a remarkable altarpiece (Martyrdom of St Sebastian) from Bergamo.
