The buildings on Piazza Santa Brigida in Genoa

I palazzi che si affacciano su piazza Santa Brigida a Genova

The buildings overlooking Piazza Santa Brigida in Genoa.
One of the most beautiful squares in Genoa, famous for hosting the old “truogoli” (public wash houses), but whose buildings are very beautiful.
I especially like, in addition to the colors of the facades, the series of laces (I'm not sure if that's what they're called) that separate the ground floor from the first floor.

In the centre of a small square that opens up into the maze of alleys between Via Balbi and Via Prè, surrounded by tall buildings, which were restored in the mid-1980s, are the “truogoli di Santa Brigida”, with an elegant metal roof, one of the few survivors of the numerous public wash houses that existed until the 1960s in every corner of the city.

The troughs of Santa Brigida square in Genoa

La piazza dei Truogoli di Santa Brigida a Genova

The Santa Brigida trough square in Genoa.
When you get off at the Genova Principe train station and walk down via Balbi, you can't help but notice this much-photographed glimpse: in this little square, in fact, there remains one of the public wash houses that were once present throughout Genoa.
Furthermore, the little square is very well kept and the houses all around are splendid.

The Museum-Theatre of the Commenda di Pre in Genoa

Il Museoteatro della Commenda di Pre a Genova

The Museoteatro della Commenda di Pre in Genoa.
Walking from Principe station to the Porto Antico there are at least three streets you can take: Via Balbi, Via Pre or Via Antonio Gramsci.
Walking along the latter, which is the street under the Sopraelevata, you can breathe in the sea air and the air of the alleys without actually crossing either one or the other.
More or less at the beginning of the route you find yourself in front of this beautiful building, which is now a museum, which was once a convent, a hospital and even a maritime station.

This is the official website of the Museo; questo instead it is the nice post of the Genoa Tourism website.

Here is where the building is located:

The complex consists of two Romanesque-style churches, one on top of the other, which constitute the bulk of the architectural body, and a three-storey building, the commenda, or rather the convent and the hospice (rooms on the ground floor), which fulfilled the dual function of maritime station on the routes to the Holy Land and hospital (ospitaletto), initially for pilgrims and later for the sick and the indigent of the city.

Piazza Sant’Elena a Genova

Piazza Sant'Elena a Genova

Piazza Sant’Elena a Genova.
Il fronte a mare del centro storico di Genova, quello che per intenderci si affaccia su via Antonio Gramsci, regala scorci splendidi.
Da queste piazzette ci si infila nei vicoli veri e propri (da qui, ad esempio, si va a via Pre) ed erano le vie di accesso al porto.
In questa piazzetta poi c’era un famoso mercatino chiamato Shangai.

Here's where the square is located:

Piazza Sant’Elena, qui c’era un tempo il famoso mercatino di Shangai, nato nel secondo dopoguerra.
Bancarelle di souvenir e di abiti che venivano dagli Stati Uniti.
Le nuove generazioni non l’hanno mai veduto ma tutti gli altri genovesi si ricordano bene di quel mercatino sempre affollato di gente.
