The Cathedral of Saint Lawrence, built in the Middle Ages with additions continuing into the 19th century, also preserves an unexploded bomb that fell into the church in 1941. Strada Nuova, the most iconic street in the city, is lined with wonderful 16th century noble mansions, called Palazzi dei Rolli, signifying the power and wealth of the Genoese aristocracy and are listed in the Unesco World Heritage Sites.
