Palazzo San Giorgio is one of the most emblematic historical buildings in Genoa. Built in the 13th century, it was first the seat of the city government and then of the Banco di San Giorgio, one of the oldest financial institutions in Europe.

Today it houses the Port Authority, continuing its link with the sea and trade.
