A building in a caruggio in Chiavari.
I really like photographing the caruggio (via Martiri della Liberazione) in Chiavari.
If it's not the porticos or the columns, I also love immortalizing the beautiful buildings!

The caruggio of Chiavari in October 2024.
It is the most famous street in Chiavari, via Martiri della Liberazione, known to all as the caruggio.
With its porticos on both sides, the columns (which by tradition are all different from each other) in slate and the colored houses.

The columns of the alley of Chiavari are all different.
One of the characteristics of the splendid alley of Chiavari (toponymically called via Martiri della Liberazione) is that the columns of the porticoes are all different from each other.
Even in this image, in which you can see different columns, if you notice even similar columns have something that could be a different capital or base.

Here's where I took the photo from:
Under the arcades of the caruggio of Chiavari.
Chiavari, located in the heart of Tigullio, is a city that enchants with its historical charm and traditions. One of the most characteristic aspects of Chiavari is its “caruggio dritto”, also known as Via Martiri della Liberazione, a place where time seems to have stopped.
Walking under the arcades of the caruggio of Chiavari is like taking a dip into the past. These nineteenth-century arcades, with their elegant arches and colorful buildings, tell the story of a city that has managed to preserve its architectural and cultural heritage. The caruggio is the beating heart of Chiavari, where you can find historic shops, typical restaurants and artisan workshops.
The arcades of the caruggio are a perfect example of Ligurian architecture. The lines of the arches and the bright colors of the buildings create a unique atmosphere, which invites you to stroll calmly, admiring the details and breathing in the air of a bygone era. During the walk, you can discover buildings of great prestige such as Palazzo Rocca and the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Giardino.
Chiavari is a lively and dynamic city, which offers numerous events throughout the year. The antiques market, held every second weekend of the month, is an unmissable event for those who love vintage objects and unique pieces. In addition, the caruggio hosts festivals and events that celebrate typical products and local traditions.
Under the arcades of the caruggio of Chiavari you can breathe a magical atmosphere, made of history, culture and traditions. It is a place where every corner tells a story and every step is a journey through time. If you have not yet visited Chiavari, I invite you to do so and let yourself be enchanted by its timeless charm.

Palaces in the Caruggio Dritto of Chiavari.
The Caruggio Dritto, also known as Via Martiri della Liberazione, is the beating heart of the historic center of Chiavari. This pedestrian street is famous for its medieval porticos and the magnificent palaces that line it, representing a real journey through time.
The Caruggio Dritto is one of the oldest and best preserved streets in Liguria. The palaces that overlook this street date back mainly to the period between the 14th and 18th centuries. These buildings are characterized by decorated facades, elegant porticos and architectural details that reflect the historical and cultural importance of the city.
The Most Significant Palaces:
– Palazzo Rocca: this palace, built in the 17th century, is one of the most representative examples of Baroque architecture in Chiavari. Today it houses the Archaeological Museum and the Civic Art Gallery.
– Palazzo Torriglia: located at the beginning of the Caruggio Dritto, this 18th-century building is known for its imposing façade and richly decorated interiors.
– Palazzo Ravaschieri: another architectural gem, this 16th-century palace is famous for its frescoes and its internal courtyard, which offers a quiet and evocative space.
Walking along the Caruggio Dritto means immersing yourself in the history of Chiavari. The porticos, which offer shelter from the sun and rain, are a distinctive element of the street and represent an important testimony to daily life in the past. The palaces, with their elegant façades and architectural details, tell stories of noble families and of an era in which Chiavari was an important commercial and cultural center.
The Caruggio Dritto of Chiavari is much more than just a street: it is a place where history and architectural beauty meet, offering visitors a unique experience. The buildings that overlook this street are living testimonies of the city's rich past and deserve to be discovered and admired.

Here's where the street is:
Vittorio Veneto street in the center of Chiavari.
The center of Chiavari is crossed by a straight street (caruggio) which is also the street for walking.
In the western part it is called via Martiri della Liberazione while in the eastern part it is called via Vittorio Veneto (which then continues into Corso Dante if you want).
With the telephoto lens you take photos that in this case I deliberately made a little squashed but it was to try to cover the whole street in a single shot.

Portici e palazzi del caruggio di Chiavari.
Due passi nel centro storico di Chiavari ed ovviamente ho scattato qualche foto.
Mi piacciono le linee degli archi ed i colori dei palazzi!

A beautiful building in Caruggio Dritto in Chiavari.
The center of Chiavari is probably one of the most beautiful places to walk in Liguria: many nice shops, the arcades (so when it rains you can still walk) and a street long enough to go back and forth a couple of times.
Every now and then I stop to photograph one of the many buildings that, without interruption, form this beautiful street.
There are no more than two columns or more than two identical arches in the whole city!
