Reviews
In occasione delle giornate RollyDay è stato possibile visitare l'interno del Palazzo Balbi Senarega, uno degli edifici più rappresentativi della grande stagione barocca genovese. Sulle volte e sulle pareti delle sale e delle gallerie si sono infatti succeduti i più autorevoli pennelli, da Valerio Castello e Domenico Piola a Gregorio De Ferrari. Dagli anni Settanta del secolo scorso l’edificio è di proprietà dell’Università degli Studi di Genova e oggi è sede della Scuola di Scienze Umanistiche.
Cool spot to reflect on the history of Venice.
Pretty place and fun to visit, you have a lot of nice restaurants, bars, etc. Can be a bit expensive.
I have an amazing story about this place. My wife and I, visiting from the US, sat in the courtyard here to reorganize some things after we stopped at a shop a few doors down. Somehow, I managed to leave my cell phone on the ground. We walked away, and about 10-15 minutes later, we realized that it was missing. I realized where I must have left it and ran back. When I got to the door, a man (who must have seen the panic on my face) greeted me and said "telephone"? Because I have my email on my lock screen, when I told him my name, he instantly recognized that it was my phone and handed it to me. The relief and gratitude I felt was overwhelming. This courtyard is part of the University of Genoa. Apparently, a man had been sitting there while my wife and I were there. He noticed that I left the phone. So he brought it to the people in charge and they were the ones who returned it to me. A beautiful place with beautiful people to match!
Came here for Venice Biennale 2024. Love how vast and high the ceilings are, which makes it an ideal space for art exhibition.
Beautiful historical place that tells a little bit about the naval history of the fleet of Venice.
Definitely worth making a walk to this history location, nice buildings and art works near the water.
The palace’s staircase is great
It's a private building you have to ask at the door to let you in
Lazise and its castle are a pitoresc feature of Lake of Riva in Italy. It's a surprising place and considered on of the oldest communities of the Country.
Amazing place and architecture
Splendido palazzo storico utilizzato da Università di Genova.
Potrebbe essere tenuto meglio ma vale una visita

Importante edificio del 17emo secolo che introdusse la novità dei due piani nobili sovrapposti. Belle le sale decorate con pregevoli affreschi realizzati dai protagonisti della grande stagione del Barocco genovese; notevole anche il ninfeo recuperato nel 2004
Both the beauty and scale of the Venetian Arsenal is amazing. The bridge between the two towers with the canal below is iconic Venice. Wonderful place to visit in the early morning before many people are out. I visited just before sunrise.
A cool place just to wander around and explore. Still an active military base so access is a bit restricted. If you’re wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of crowded laneways, this is a nice way to do it and also get some of the breeze. There’s a free boat that takes you across the water which makes things easier, and lots of cats in the surrounding area.
I guess the staircase of this palace is on par with the one in Vatican museums, one of the most beatiful in the world.
Bello da visitare
Small little church behind the main San Nicola Basilica. Was closed when I visited but beautiful on the outside
We didn’t visit the exhibition, but it was worth wandering around this historical shipyard that used to be the heart of maritime warfare. It used to build one ship a day during the peak era of Venice’s naval powers!
Dreischiffige Basilika mit wiederverwendet antiken Kapitellen und Säulen. Arabisch-normannischer Baustil.
Kreuzgang mit filigranen Doppelsäulen. Sakristei und ein Vorraum mit abgenommenem Kreuzigungsfresko und separat abgenommer darunterliegender Vorzeichnung (Sinopie, Rötelstift)
2,50€ die sich lohnen

Elegantissimo
very beautiful place, calm, quiet, along the canal you can meet artists who paint the surrounding area. two nice cafes right on the corner of the bridge. as always, a historical and incredibly memorable place.
Sede dell'Università di Genova, il Palazzo fa parte del sistema dei Rolli. Incredibili gli affreschi, soprattutto quelli della magnifica galleria.
Visitato in occasione dei Rolli Days, un palazzo molto ricco di storia e decori che andrebbe valorizzato e ristrutturato
Molto bella questa chiesa nel cuore della città vecchia. Stile romanico, ricorda la basilica di San Nicola. Ingresso gratuito. Ve la consiglio.
Stunning! The concierge is so friendly too.
Fabulous
5 star table service, air conditioned, wifi available, tasty pasta. Prices of one dish range from 7-13 EUR
Highly recommend paying a little extra to get the special tour of the dock, it’s beautiful!
Visited here on the boat we rented out from peschiera, took us about 30mins to get here, first time boating so don't know if that's slow or what, took a while to moor in the harbour but eventually got it tied up somehow, first timers, had a walk around town which is pretty cool and had some lunch by the lake, worth a visit if in boat, we only had the hire for 4 hours so by the time we got back we just returned to peschiera
Small, beautiful church well hidden in the old town.
Imponente
Nice
A spectacular example of beautiful architecture in Naples ! Unmissable if you like the Art Deco
Bella chiesa, purtroppo l’abbiamo trovata chiusa. Gli orari di apertura non sono chiari, sono esposti solo quelli della confraternita.
Meraviglioso
Non visitabile
Malý kostel v historickém centru Bari. Je hodně zastrčený, takže je celkem problém jej najít. Kostel zřejmě není možné navštívit.
Big scam!!! Don’t buy there. Super expensive and terrible drinks
One of the most beautiful ‘Liberty’ style buildings of Naples.
Please note: to visit the staircase the access is allowed only at specific times of the day

IT looks very nice from the outside. I had no chance to visit it and I am not sure if that is even possible because I have not found entrance with tickets. I have seen 1 main gate but it was closed. However eveything around was quite nice and it is definately worth to see and walk around. All the old Castle walls around the city are in very good shape and they create nice feeling that you are still in the middle ages with direct access to the Lake.
Il palazzo si affaccia sulla piazza principale di Forlì.
E' stato ristrutturato e restaurato alcuni anni or sono con criteri moderni e massima attenzione nei confronti dell'eco sostenibilità.

A good place to visit with quaint shops and restaurants housed withing extensive walls, next to Lake Garda.
There's a car park just outside, which is convenient.

Bellissimi i rifacimenti visibili al piano terra.
Well worth a visit if you're passing by. The centre is full of restaurants, gelato bars and shops. This is surrounded by the castle walls.
Really interesting and worth a look.

What a beautiful underrated place to visit. The castle itself is beautiful but it's right next to the beautiful lake Garda. A must-see in Italy. There are some shops and restaurants nearby.
Beautiful
Me encantó esta ciudad, tanto por su casco viejo como por sus calles. Es bonita para perderse caminando
Si paga 5 euro di pass per auto assurdo
Palazzo del fine 400 ristrutturato in diverse epoche mantenendo ancora alcune parti originarie
Why would you review Churches?
Great place to visit. The staff were lovely as well!
Eccellente
Nice palace and university together, I like this idea
One of my favourite places when I visited Palermo. It’s like a hidden gem in a city jungle. The environment is clean and surrounded by green plants. The buildings were constructed in the late 12 century, but very well reserved. I’d say it’s much better than the Zisa.
Of course, I came here for the history of the Order of Teutonic Knights. La Magione was the Order’s headquarters from 1197-1492. The church is free of entrance. If you pay three euros, you can also visit the courtyard and the small museum. The gallery in the courtyard is very elegant! It has the same style with the iconic gallery in San Giovanni Convento which was built in Norman era. In summer, the courtyard is full of flowers.
You can find many traces left by the Order, such as the faded frescoes on the wall along the gallery, the Teutonic cross above a small side door beside the alter in the church, and the alter itself. The large stone Teutonic cross above a knight effigy on the left side of the church entrance is interesting too, you can see how different the cross was from the well-known black Teutonic cross in later periods.
Don’t forget to visit the Magione Park behind the church. It’s a large green open area, which once was a part of the Magione. You can see the relics there.
Magione是大宅邸的意思，建于12世纪末，1197-1492年是条顿骑士团在西西里的总部，当时地盘很大，如今只剩下教堂，但是环境清洁安静，很值得一看哦！个人感觉比同时代的齐萨王宫保护得更好，更漂亮。教堂免费参观，交三欧元可以去院子里逛。院子的走廊超有中世纪feel，夏天会有盛开的鲜花。小博物馆可以看到从前的地基。这里有许多条顿留下的足迹，你可以找到好几个条顿十字。别忘了参观教堂后的公园，那里有大宅邸留下的痕迹。

Panorama mozzafiato
Excellent monument of medieval culture and architecture. Emperor Frederick II of Holy Roman Empire granted that church to Tectonic Knights in XIII century. You have to buy a ticket to get in. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light.
Sono all'avoro qui
