About

D'Albertis Castle in Genoa, Italy, is a striking neo-Gothic structure perched on a hill overlooking the city and the Ligurian Sea. Built between 1886 and 1892 by Captain Enrico Alberto d'Albertis, the castle reflects the eclectic tastes and adventurous spirit of its creator, who was an explorer, sea captain, and ethnographer. Today, the castle houses the Museum of World Cultures (Museo delle Culture del Mondo), showcasing an impressive collection of artifacts from d'Albertis's travels around the globe, including items from Africa, America, and Oceania.
