Once the home of the Doges of Genoa, it is now a museum and a center for cultural events and arts exhibitions. It is situated in the heart of the city, with two different entrances and facades, the main one on Piazza Matteotti, and the second one on Piazza De Ferrari. Built between 1251 and 1275 as the Palazzo Comunale, during the flourishing period of the Genoa Republic. The palace was restored in the 1590s by Andrea Ceresola (il Vannone; fl 1575-1619). After a fire in 1777, it was rebuilt in Neoclassic style (1806).
