The houses behind Marassi in Genoa

Le case alle spalle del quartiere di Marassi a Genova

The houses behind the Marassi district in Genoa.
Behind the Marassi district, going up towards Fort Quezzi, apartment blocks and council houses appear. I think that continuous series of houses at the top is called the “Biscione” but I’m not sure.
Below, you can see the mother house of the nuns of Our Lady of the Refuge in Monte Calvario, Brignoline.

The tower dominates the heights of the Bisagno valley, and was built to compensate for the lack of adequate defense of Fort Quezzi along the northern ridge of the mountain, which would have provided an easy starting point for enemy troops in a possible attack on the fort itself. The Sardinian Engineers worked hard to reinforce that side of the mountain, with the construction of a small circular “support” structure.

A creuza for Salita dell’Orso in Genoa.
If you want to take a nice walk, if you are from Genoa and you don’t want to go too far, I invite you to go up to the Santuario della Madonna del Monte, the beautiful church between San Fruttuoso and Marassi.
From there there is a beautiful road that leads towards Quezzi and that meets many Creuze that go up from below.
