Genoa's Son, Christopher Columbus


It looks like these tourists also have no idea where Christopher Columbus's home is?
Same as us.

But now we know they are standing right in front of it.


Christopher Columbus as we know discovered the New World in 1492.  He landed in the Caribbean four times.
He was born in 1451 in Genoa and lived here until 1455-1470.
The home is a recreation built in the 1800's.
It is a tiny museum.



Curiously, last year when we visited Seville, Spain we visited Christopher Columbus's resting place in the Seville Cathedral.
