Il panorama di Genova da Spianata Castelletto

The view of Genoa from Spianata Castelletto.
Genoa, with its historical and maritime charm, offers numerous panoramic points, but one of the most evocative is undoubtedly Spianata Castelletto. Located in the heart of the city, this panoramic terrace offers a breathtaking view that embraces the historic center, the port and the sea.
Spianata Castelletto, also known as Belvedere Montaldo, is a real “balcony” suspended above the historic center of Genoa. From here, visitors can admire the slate roofs of the houses, the medieval towers, the famous Lanterna and the ships that sail the port. The view is particularly fascinating at sunset, when the city is tinged with warm colors and the sea reflects the lights of the twilight.
Reaching Spianata Castelletto is simple and can be a pleasant experience in itself. You can opt for a walk through the characteristic alleys of the Castelletto district, or take the Liberty elevator from Piazza del Portello, a unique experience that offers a taste of Genoese history and culture.
Once you arrive, a stop to enjoy a Sicilian granita from the famous Gelateria Don Paolo is a must. Sitting on the benches of the esplanade, with a granita in hand, you can enjoy one of the most romantic and evocative views of the city.
Spianata Castelletto is a place that enchants both tourists and locals. It is the ideal place to take unforgettable photographs, relax and admire the beauty of Genoa from above. Whether it is a day visit or a moment of rest during a walk, this panoramic point is an unmissable stop for anyone who wants to discover the true spirit of the Superba.
If you are planning a visit to Genoa, do not forget to include Spianata Castelletto in your itinerary. The spectacular view and the relaxing atmosphere will make you fall in love with this fascinating city even more.

The view over the roofs of the city of Perugia

La vista sui tetti della città di Perugia

The view over the rooftops of the city of Perugia.
Perugia, the capital of Umbria, is a city rich in history, art and culture. One of the most fascinating aspects of this medieval city is the breathtaking view over its rooftops, which offers a unique and unforgettable experience for anyone who visits it. In this case, I took the photo from a window of the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria.
One of the most famous panoramic points is the Belvedere Carducci. From here, you can enjoy an open view of the southern part of the city, including the Tiber Valley and the Umbrian Valley. This point also offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountain systems.
Another place not to be missed is Porta Sole, in particular Via delle Prome. From the parapet of Piazza Rossi Scotti, which continues along the first stretch of the steps of Via delle Prome, you can admire a panorama that ranges from the medieval walls of Borgo Sant’Antonio to Borgo Sant’Angelo, with the Cassero and the temple of Sant’Angelo.
The terrace of the covered market offers a view of the city to the east up to San Domenico and San Pietro, with their characteristic bell towers. From the park of Santa Margherita, located below the terrace, the view extends to Subasio with Assisi and the surrounding mountains.
From this point, you can enjoy a fine view of the Conca, crossed by the characteristic suspended street of the aqueduct and Borgo Sant’Angelo. It is a perfect place to take photographs and admire the beauty of the city.
The terrace of the Cassero, located in the tower belonging to the medieval circle of the city, offers a 360° panorama of the city and the surrounding mountains. It is an ideal place for those who love panoramic views and want to immerse themselves in the history of Perugia.
The early morning and late afternoon are the best times to enjoy the panoramic views, when the light is softer and the shadows create a suggestive effect. Bring a camera or a smartphone with a good camera to capture the breathtaking views. Binoculars can be useful to observe the details in the distance.
Visiting Perugia is an experience that cannot be missed on your itinerary in Umbria. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a history lover or simply looking for a moment of tranquility, the views of Perugia will leave you breathless. Plan your visit and get ready to discover one of the most fascinating cities in Italy from a unique perspective.

The roofs of the center of Genoa seen from Castelletto

I tetti del centro di Genova visti dalla Spianata Castelletto

The roofs of the center of Genoa seen from Spianata Castelletto.
Genoa, with its fascinating historic center, offers breathtaking views that enchant both residents and visitors. One of the most suggestive observation points is undoubtedly the Spianata di Castelletto. From here, you can enjoy a unique view of the roofs of the historic center, a veritable sea of ​​red tiles interrupted by bell towers, towers and ancient buildings.
The Spianata di Castelletto, also known as “Belvedere Montaldo”, is easily accessible thanks to the Castelletto elevator, an engineering work inaugurated in 1909 that connects Piazza Portello with the esplanade. This elevator, with its elegant Art Nouveau windows, is already an attraction in itself not to be missed.
Once you reach the top, the spectacle that opens before your eyes is extraordinary. The roofs of the historic center extend as far as the eye can see, creating a mosaic of colors and shapes that tell centuries of history. Among the tiles, the bell towers of the churches emerge, such as that of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and delle Vigne, and the medieval towers, such as the Torre degli Embriaci.
The ancient port, with its docked ships, and the modern skyscrapers of Sampierdarena offer a fascinating contrast to the ancient skyline of the city. In the distance, you can see the Lanterna, the lighthouse symbol of Genoa, and, on clear days, the promontory of Portofino.
The Spianata di Castelletto is not only a place to admire the view, but also a meeting point for the Genoese. In the morning, it is frequented by children accompanied by their grandparents, while on summer evenings it becomes an ideal place to enjoy the cool air and the lights of the city. Don't forget to try a granita with cream at the Don Paolo bar, a real delight for those with a sweet tooth.
The roofs of the center of Genoa seen from Castelletto offer a unique spectacle that combines history, architecture and daily life. An unmissable experience for anyone who wants to discover the authentic heart of this wonderful city.

The roofs of the city of Cadiz seen from the ship

I tetti della città di Cadice visti dalla nave

The rooftops of the city of Cadiz seen from the ship.
In the heart of the Costa de la Luz, lies the picturesque city of Cadiz, a town overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and famous for its unique rooftops. The rooftops of Cadiz are not just architectural elements, but real spectacles that narrate the history and culture of this fascinating Spanish city.
The rooftops of Cadiz are a mosaic of shapes, colors and architectural styles. The buildings, often characterized by white facades, overlook narrow and winding streets, creating an urban labyrinth that develops in harmony with the topography of the city. The rooftops themselves, in many cases, are flat and offer spectacular panoramic terraces overlooking the sea or the charming old town.

The architecture of the roofs of Cadiz is steeped in Moorish influences, reflecting the history of the city that was under Muslim rule for centuries. The characteristic terraced roofs, often decorated with potted plants and even small gardens, create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The red or brown tiles contribute to a fascinating play of colors that blends with the blue sky of the Costa de la Luz.
Every corner of the city offers a unique view of the roofs of Cadiz. From the bell tower of the Cathedral of Cadiz, the panorama opens onto a sea of ​​roofs, with churches and domes emerging picturesquely. The crowded squares and charming alleys offer unexpected views, providing an unforgettable visual experience.
The roofs of Cadiz are also witness to the cultural fervor of the city. During the summer months, many terraces come alive with nightlife, becoming the perfect places to enjoy an evening under the stars or to watch the sunset over the Atlantic. These roofs become the stage for cultural events, concerts and parties that make Cadiz a vibrant and lively place.

In conclusion, the roofs of Cadiz are much more than just architectural coverings. They are the visual expression of the history, culture and timeless beauty of this fascinating Spanish city. Every visit to Cadiz is a journey through the picturesque peaks that make this destination one of a kind.

Here's where the town is located:

It is probably the oldest city founded in the western Mediterranean area by the Phoenicians in the 11th century BC, although its birth is now officially dated back to the end of the 8th century BC.
Founded with the original name of Gadir (in Phoenician: Gdr, fortress, with the same etymology as Agadir in Morocco) on what was once a small archipelago and now a single island, to exploit the rich trade routes with the Atlantic Ocean in the copper and tin trade. In ancient Greece it was known as Gadeira and in the times of the Roman Empire as Gades from which the current gentilic name of gaditano derives.

A beautiful view of the center of La Spezia from one of the most panoramic points that can be found if we consider that we are practically in the center.
