Palazzo Galliera

Palazzo Galliera, owned by S.P.Im. S.p.A., is a historic building dating back to the 19th century, located in the heart of Genoa, near Via Garibaldi, between Palazzo Tursi and Palazzo Bianco. Originally a private residence, it stands on a site of great historical value: the ancient Church of San Francesco al Castelletto. Traces of this past, such as columns and arches from the side nave, remain visible in the façade and the charming inner courtyard.

Reflections on the potential uses of the palace particularly focus on social purposes. Among the proposed ideas is the creation of spaces dedicated to hostels or community-focused facilities, promoting inclusivity, affordability, and social mobility.

The strategic location of the palace, in the heart of the historic center and just steps away from the Musei di Strada Nuova, offers a unique opportunity to foster synergies with museum and cultural institutions, hosting educational, artistic, and social initiatives. The hope is that the future buyer will transform Palazzo Galliera into a vibrant and meaningful space for the community, bringing renewed significance to this hidden treasure.

Additionally, a feasibility study was conducted by the OBR Open Building Research architectural firm, exploring the palace’s potential as a resource for the city. Proposed solutions include the creation of apartments, coworking spaces, art galleries, and libraries.

Palazzo Galliera represents an example of how historical heritage can be transformed into an opportunity for the city’s future.
