The ancient Torre degli Embriaci in Genoa photographed from far away.
One of the most beautiful spots to photograph Genoa is the Belvedere Montaldo which is located in the Castelletto district.
From there the view extends over almost the entire city and, thanks to the telephoto lens, you can photograph details that would otherwise be difficult to see.
This is the case of the ancient Torre degli Embriaci with its grandeur and behind it the top of the bell tower of the church of Santa Maria in Castello.

The Embriaci Tower, also called the Embriaci Tower, located in the oldest part of Genoa, where the “castrum” stood, is linked to the name of Guglielmo Embriaco who “as a crusader returned victorious from Cesarea”. It is the only one of the many towers that were located in the current historic center of Genoa to have been spared by the edict of 1196 that wanted all the city towers to be cut to 80 palms.

The view from the Montaldo viewpoint in Genoa

La vista dal belvedere Montaldo a Genova

The view from the Montaldo viewpoint in Genoa.
Some time ago now I was, for the first time, in the Castelletto neighborhood in Genoa.
One of the most beautiful points of the neighborhood is its viewpoint from which you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the city.
On that day, even though there was a lot of fog, I also took some photos with very beautiful colors at sunset.

Tramonto da Spianata Castelletto.
Qualche settimana fa sono stato, per la prima volta, sulla spianata del quartiere di Castelletto a Genova e ho potuto godere della famosa vista dal belvedere.
Era già tardo pomeriggio e, anche se la giornata era particolarmente umida ed il cielo molto fosco, le foto al tramonto sono riuscite benissimo.

Si vede quasi tutto da questo punto della città: la Lanterna sulla destra, la ruota panoramica, la torre della Cattedrale di San Lorenzo e quella a fianco a Palazzo Ducale.
