Courthouse
The building, the former seat of the Chiavari Courthouse, is located in Giuseppe Mazzini Square, in the middle of the city’s historical centre.
Designed by Giuseppe Partini and built in 1886, the Medieval style building contains elements inspired by Tuscan Gothic style.
In this spot once stood the old 15th century Citadel built by the Republic of Genoa, at the time its civilian and military power was concentrated here.
The battlemented tower, dating back to 1537, still stands at the centre of the building.
