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.
