The complex is composed by three buildings on land, perfectly integrated in the town fabric behind, by two underground parking facilities, one of which is open to the public, and by an impressive little port that extends towards the centre of the historic port of Genoa, plus more than 10.000 square meters of squares completing and expanding the promenade for residents and tourists who go from the Aquarium and from the areas of the Old Port towards the Museum of the Sea and the cruise terminal.While achieving this, an enormous care has been put in order to respect the historical tradition of Genoa port environment: as a matter of fact, the marble promenade that divides via Gramsci and the port area has been maintained; a considerable section of the base of the Medieval Tower of the dock has been rediscovered, and today is protected inside the building named “Morosini Nord”: it had been buried for a long time under the debris of Genoa strong industrialization of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century; and the wonderful nineteenth century banister in cast iron, that now surrounds the city road system, has been brought back to its original splendour.When restoring the last building next to the dry dock of Rimorchiatori Riuniti, Marina Porto Antico has collaborated with the town Superintendency to carry out a mapping and a survey of the items found during the excavations, bringing to light the foundations of warehouses and buildings linked to the old port activity of Genoa.
