The Palazzo Spinola was built between 1445 and 1459 by Giacomo Spinola at the top of the 14th Century residential district, Via Luccoli. The palazzo faces the Piazza Fontane Marose, once an arena for tournaments, and today an important link between Via Garibaldi and Via XXV Aprile. It has a beautiful black and white façade, a privilege reserved solely for the four principal families of the city, Doria, Spinola, Fieschi and Grimaldi. There are five late medieval statues on the façade, a touch of self-promotion by the Spinola family.
