The Lighthouse of Genoa is symbol of the city. The monument dates back at least to 1128, according to the most widespread date by historians, and is perhaps already 900 hundred years old, almost 9 centuries of history that make it the second oldest lighthouse in the world still working. The reconstruction of 1543 has interested only partially the upper part of the tower. At that time it was on the walls and gate to the west of the city while today, inside the fortifications, there is a museum about the history of Genoa and how a lighthouse works. In 2001 a pedestrian walkway was built to make the Lighthouse more accessible to the inhabitants by connecting Terminal Traghetti to the lighthouse with a section that runs along Via Milano.

The walk winds for 800 meters above the docks of the Port of Genoa.
You can reach the promenade that leads to the Lighthouse by bus or metro getting off at the stop "Buozzi 2/Metro Dinegro" if you arrive from the east, otherwise at the stop "Dinegro/Terminal Traghetti" if you arrive from the west by bus. Afterwards, just cross the road going to the seaside and continue to the Ferry Terminal, where the walk begins. Leaving the shopping mall of the Terminal Traghetti, in fact, you will find on the perimeter of the parking lot that serves it, some red and white lines with the symbol of the Lantern that will lead you, safely, to the beginning of the walk marked by a large red panel of 25m, with on drawn Genoa and written "LANTERNA"!
