Palazzo Stefano Balbi, also known as the Royal Palace of Genoa, is a magnificent example of Baroque architecture in Italy. Constructed in 1618 for the Balbi family, it underwent significant renovations under the guidance of architects Pier Francesco Cantone and Michele Moncino. The palace's rich history includes ownership by the Durazzo Family and the Royal House of Savoy, and it now serves as a museum showcasing original furnishings, frescoes, and artworks by notable artists such as Bernardo Strozzi and Anthony van Dyck.
