Palazzo Stefano Lomellini, known as Palazzo Stefano Lomellini-Doria, is a grand Genoese palace hidden in the heart of the city. This historic building has been transformed over the centuries. In the 18th century, the architect Gregorio Petondi renovated and expanded the palace for Gian Tommaso Balbi, creating a distribution solution that linked two atriums and the rooms on the upper floors. Various families have owned the palace, with the Doria family most recently holding it. Now, it serves as a mix of offices and residences, maintaining its status as a testament to Genoa’s rich architectural legacy. Visit the grand halls, appreciate the intricate details, and envision the lives that once filled its rooms.
