Hotels in Genoa

The city of Genoa once rivalled the Venetians as the hub of explorers and traders.

Its geographical position also made it a tempting strategic target for warring armies.

In 1800 Genoa was forced to undergo a six-week siege as Austrian forces bottled up General Massena's troops. Supplies were short and both the French soldiers and local inhabitants suffered.

The city was surrendered on 4 June.
