Castelletto is a residential quarter in Genoa and the Spianata is a raised platform and walkway that offers unparalleled views of the city and harbour.

The courtyard and walkway are accessible via a series of steps or an ornate lift that is topped with a large glass panelled building.

Once you are at the top, you can look down to the city beneath you.

During the daytime see the ships in the harbour and hear the hustle and bustle of the locals, and at night see the city transformed with an advent of lights.
