The beautiful Senarega square in the alleys of Genoa
The beautiful Piazza Senarega in the alleys of Genoa.
In the heart of Genoa, hidden among the alleys of the historic center, lies the suggestive Piazza Senarega. This picturesque corner is an architectural and historical jewel that tells the authentic soul of the city.
The square takes its name from the ancient and noble Senarega family, who in the Middle Ages owned several properties in the area. Today, Piazza Senarega is a quiet refuge from the lively activity of the city center, characterized by a cobblestone pavement and surrounded by historic buildings that bear witness to the passing of the centuries.
One of the main points of interest is the Church of San Torpete, a small baroque church that dominates the square with its simple but elegant facade. The church, restored over the years, is a perfect example of local religious architecture and a place of peace and reflection.
Walking through Piazza Senarega means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of times gone by, where every stone seems to tell a story. The narrow streets that lead to the square offer unique and unexpected views, making this place a must-see for those who want to discover the true essence of Genoa.
Visiting Piazza Senarega does not only mean exploring a hidden corner of the city, but also living an experience that combines history, art and culture in an authentically Genoese environment.

Here's exactly where the square is located:
A few steps from Via degli Orefici and Via Banchi is the charming Piazza Senarega. The toponym of the site originates from the name of the noble family of the same name originally from the Scrivia Valley. The absolute protagonist of the square is the luxurious palace, built around 1590, of Gio. Batta Senarega.

Giornalmente passavo davanti e qualche volta l’ho frequentata …
Bellissima!!!
Peccato che il vicolo a destra sia infrequentabile….
Negl’anni trascorsi a Genova giornalmente percorrevo la zona in quanto lavoravo in vico Casana ed anche per rientrare a casa dal lavoro…
Che poi è uno slargo di Via Orefici dietro la storica Borsa Merci di piazza Banchi.
