Genova — Acquario e Porto Antico
Liguria
Genoa's Porto Antico was transformed in the 1990s from working docks into a public waterfront anchored by one of the largest aquariums in Europe, alongside a floating biosphere and public promenades — a flat, harbour-level counterpart to the steep hilltop forts covered elsewhere in the city.
