What we will do

Our guide meets us at the pier and, together, we walk to Savona’s city centre to discover its most evocative monuments. We see the imposing Cathedral, which welcomes us with its Baroque façade and surprises us with its amazing wooden choir, a prestigious carved masterpiece dating back to the 16th century.
We move on to the Priamar fortress, an imposing building overlooking the port and famous for being the place where Giuseppe Mazzini was imprisoned. It was the first city settlement and is now home to an archaeological museum displaying historical artefacts.
We then head back to the port to discover the Liguria culinary tradition with a tasting session of fried fish or chickpea farinata with a nice glass of local wine.
But the excursion does not end here for those who still feel like exploring! We will visit the amazing Gavotti Palace: prestigious building located in the heart of the city, which houses the Pinacoteca of Savona and the Ceramics Museum.
