    The Aquarium of Genova is the largest aquarium in Italy and among the largest in Europe.

    Located in the old harbor area of Genova, the 33,000-square-foot (3,100 m2) aquarium welcomes more than 1.2 million visitors each year. The Aquarium of Genova, the heart of the AcquarioVillage system, is the biggest display of aquatic biodiversity in Europe. A thrilling dive into the fascinating waters of the world through 74 tanks hosting 12.000 specimens of 400 species including sea cows, the sirens of the sea, antarctic animals – the only European facility hosting them – penguins, sharks, seals, jelly fish and very colorful fish of the coral barrier.

    The aquarium was originally built for Genova Expo ’92, celebrating 500 years since the Genovan sailor Christopher Columbus discovered the new world. The building, which some say looks like a ship ready to head out to sea, was designed by the Genoese architect Renzo Piano. The interior design and initial exhibits for the opening in 1992 were designed by Peter Chermayeff leading a design team at Cambridge Seven Associates. In 1998 the aquarium was expanded with the addition of a 100-metre (330 ft) ship connected by walkway to the original building.

    And since July 2013, the new Cetacean Pavilion designed by Renzo Piano: four open-air pools which can host up to 10 bottlenose dolphins.
