The tower of the Nicolosio Lomellino palace in Genoa

La torre del palazzo Nicolosio Lomellino a Genova

The tower of the Nicolosio Lomellino palace, known as the minaret or the mirador, in Genoa.
Every time I happen to pass by Piazza del Portello (to tell the truth, it hasn't happened to me that many times...) I keep my nose in the air to see this tower that is right above the monumental Giuseppe Garibaldi gallery.
The last time I took a photo of it and, to write this post, I discovered that it is part of the splendid Nicolosio Lomellino palace, which has its main entrance on via Garibaldi, and is called the Mirador or Minaret Tower (for its Arabesque style).

Here's where the tower is located:

Minaret of a mosque?… no, the sixteenth-century Mirador of Palazzo Nicolosio Lomellini, the tower, later expanded in the 18th century, with which the coral lords of Tabarca intended to amaze their guests and stun them with wonder.

The splendid Galleria Garibaldi in Genoa

La splendida galleria dedicata a Giuseppe Garibaldi a Genova

The splendid gallery dedicated to Giuseppe Garibaldi in Genoa.
Arriving in Piazza Portello you find this beautiful gallery of which I always appreciate the inscription at the entrance, the two marble statues that protect it and the Minaret tower just above.
Built in 1927 (MCMXXVII) and originally dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele III, the gallery was renamed after the Second World War in honor of Giuseppe Garibaldi, in line with the post-war feeling of renewal and national unity.
I really like photographing this point of Genoa.

The Giuseppe Garibaldi Gallery in Genoa
Wandering around Genoa there are dozens, perhaps thousands, of corners and monuments that I don't know or that I have only seen without paying attention to them or knowing more about them.
Like this long tunnel (long for being in the centre of Genoa) that connects Piazza Portello with Largo Zecca.
Inaugurata nel 1897 prima come galleria tranviaria e poi successivamente ampliata.
