Sant’Elena square in Genoa.
The seafront of the historic center of Genoa, the one that overlooks Via Antonio Gramsci, offers splendid views.
From these little squares you enter the actual alleys (from here, for example, you go to Via Pre) and they were the access roads to the port.
In this little square there was also a famous market called Shangai.
