The central Via Galata in Genoa.
This road crosses almost the entire modern center of Genoa. It goes from Via XX Settembre to Piazza Brignole and is interrupted only by the Fontana del Genio Marino in Piazza Colombo.

Where is the street located:
Galata (or Galatae or Pera) is the historical core of Beyoğlu, a district of Istanbul, and is located in the northern part of the Golden Horn, the inlet that separates it from the historic city center. There are various theories on the origin of the name "Galata": it could be a contamination of the Italian term calata, archaism for scalo (arch. scala), or derive from gala, milk in Greek; the most probable derivation is however from the Celtic tribe of the Galatians who are believed to have settled in that place in the Hellenistic period: more precisely, a prince of Galatia would have settled there.
