"Swallow your fear of heights Just remember that these towers have been standing since 1163. They probably won't fall today! But even if you have a fear of heights, do pay the 2 euro to walk up the beautiful interior circular staircases in these ancient towers of the Barbarossa walls (the second recorded expansion of the old city). The views of the mountains at sunset are spectacular."

The Porta Soprana, one of Genoa’s most iconic landmarks, is a stunning reminder of the city’s medieval heritage. Built in the 12th century as part of Genoa’s defensive walls, this beautifully preserved gate stands as a testament to the city’s historical importance as a maritime power. The twin towers flanking the archway are imposing yet elegant, offering visitors a glimpse into the architectural ingenuity of the Middle Ages. Walking through the gate feels like stepping back in time, especially when combined with the surrounding cobblestone streets and nearby historical sites.

Porta Soprana, also known as Porta Sant'Andrea, is one of the symbols of the city of Genoa. Restored at the beginning of the 20th century, was one of the entrances to the old city, built in 1115 on the previous gate, while building new walls to protect Genoa . It is located very close to the home of Christopher Columbus and the remains of the Monastery of Sant'Andrea. Today, the tower is an unofficial separation between old and new Genoa.

Nice old historical gate to observe and walk through on your way to old town. Amazing place to eat and drink. There are some old ruins just outside the gate.

Definitely one of the best preserved and famous gates that remains from the ancient walls of Genova. Built on top of the Andrew hill, it comprise of the huge gate and the two towers next to it, who were used as guard towers. After some recent renovation it looks very appealing to the tourists, who can also enjoy it from one of the many coffee shops and restaurants around it. The house where Christopher Columbus lived is also nearby. Put it on your bucket list when visiting Genoa.

This is one of the historical monuments which you should cover in the vicinity.. The best part about the place is this has some good restaurants in the surrounding area, so worth visiting the place during lunch time.
