Visiting Genoa, Italy...

It's Friday and my last excursion is Genoa, Italy.  Genoa is the largest seaport in Italy, and it has the characteristic small streets of a very old city.  Here are my photos from today's tour...

Arriving in Genoa, Italy.

The "Old City" has a distinctive modern look.

The fish markets abound on the old city.

The "public" cathedral of Genoa.  It has the distinctive stripes that reflect Arab influence.

Here's the actual bomb that hit the church during World War II.  It didn't explode and locals feel Mary protected the church.

The old port is primarily for fishing and boating.  You can see the aquarium and aviary behind the boats.
