View from the lighthouse La Lanterna di Genova over the harbour and the centre of Liguria's capital city in northeastern direction. The protected harbour has been used since ancient times. It had a major importance for the great explorations of past centuries, and is still one of the busiest harbours in Europe. The importance of the city in finance and economics goes back to medieval times.
