Where to stay in Sant'Ilario
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Four collections, no hotel quarter. The Frugone Collection, the Wolfsoniana, the Galleria d'arte moderna of Genoa and the Museo Giannettino Luxoro all sit on Sant'Ilario's register, which makes the quarter a destination for a day rather than a base for a week. Gropallo Tower belongs to the same list.
A visitor set on the collections may prefer a room out here; everyone else can treat the quarter as an afternoon out from the centre of Genoa. Natività di Maria Santissima Church and Nostra Signora della Mercede e Sant'Erasmo Church serve the parishes.

About Sant'Ilario
What are the main landmarks in Sant'Ilario?
Art is what this quarter keeps: the Frugone Collection, the Wolfsoniana, the Galleria d'arte moderna of Genoa and the Museo Giannettino Luxoro amount to four separate collections inside one district. Gropallo Tower stands among them. The churches are San Siro, Natività di Maria Santissima Church and Nostra Signora della Mercede e Sant'Erasmo Church.
What is the history of Sant'Ilario?
The quarter is documented through what it holds. Genoa's file gives Sant'Ilario a quarter's entry and nothing more, so the names on the record are churches and collections rather than events, running from San Siro and Natività di Maria Santissima Church to the Museo Giannettino Luxoro. Gropallo Tower is the one entry that is neither.
No year attaches to any of them.
Where is Sant'Ilario?
A quarter of Genoa whose register runs to eight names, Sant'Ilario groups four art collections, three churches and Gropallo Tower on one patch of the city.
