The markets to discover in Genoa

Eastern Market
The most important and popular market in Genoa is unquestionably the Oriental market in Via XX Settembre. Its location alone makes it a pilgrimage destination for all lovers of the city's history. The structure is, in fact, that of the ancient cloister of the Consolazione church, whose construction began in 1684 but was never finished. The current market as we see it today is the result of the works that the municipality approved in 1893. Only in 2017 was the food market added with its spaces intended for cultural events and initiatives.
