About Palmaro
Where to stay in Palmaro
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Anyone whose reason for coming is Santa Maria Assunta or San Pietro in Pra' will find the beds sit elsewhere in Genoa, which keeps the hotel stock for this stretch of the commune. Palmaro is a residential quarter. That suits a traveller who wants streets without crowds, and works badly for one who wants dinner nearby and a choice of rooms within walking distance.
About Palmaro
What are the main landmarks in Palmaro?
Three dedications carry the quarter. Santa Maria Assunta and Nostra Signora degli Angeli account for two of them, while the third, San Pietro in Pra', takes its name from Pra' and appears on Palmaro's own list of landmarks. Nothing else here is listed, so the sightseeing here amounts to three church fronts and the streets between them.
What is the history of Palmaro?
The archive is thin for Palmaro. No founding date attaches to the quarter, and what the record does keep is a short list of church titles, Santa Maria Assunta, Nostra Signora degli Angeli and San Pietro in Pra', each of them a parish marker rather than a dated event. Palmaro belongs to the commune of Genoa, and the civic record continues from there.
Where is Palmaro?
The Genoa commune numbers Palmaro among its named quarters, and the landmark list it shares with Pra' places the two close together.
