The Castello D'Albertis, in Genoa, was the residence of its creator, Captain Enrico D’Albertis.

A historic residence in Genoa, it is now home to the Museum of World Cultures and the Museum of Music of Peoples. Built in 1886 on an ancient bastion of the 14th-century walls, it is one of the most appreciated house-museums in the Ligurian capital.

Located on the Montegalletto hill in the Castelletto district, overlooking the city of Genoa and offering an open view of the Ligurian Sea, it stands alongside the Mackenzie Castle.

Traveling by sea and land between the 19th and 20th centuries, Captain D’Albertis had indeed encapsulated his world in his home, in a romantic setting between wonder rooms and colonial trophies. The Castello D'Albertis, with its historical and exotic taste environments, bears witness to the curiosity towards the unknown and the charm that the distant worlds visited by the Captain exerted on his spirit.

Upon entering the 16th-century bastion, on which the neo-Gothic castle was built starting from 1886, a second visit path opens up, in which the archaeological and ethnographic material of the Museum of World Cultures is revealed through dialogue and exchange with the populations from which it originates.
