The palazzo Doria-Tursi or palazzo Niccolò Grimaldi is a building on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi in the historic town centre of Genoa. With Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco it houses the Strada Nuova Museums. In July 2006, all three palaces and the streets around them became the Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli World Heritage Site. Since 1848, the Palazzo Doria-Tursi has housed the city hall of Genoa.

Palazzo Tursi in the context of Musei di Strada Nuova (Genova)
The Musei di Strada Nuova in the Italian city of Genoa comprise three museums which together form a single complex, housed in the Palazzo Rosso, the Palazzo Bianco and the Palazzo Tursi, all of which are located along the Via Garibaldi (formerly the Strada Nuova). The Palazzo Tursi is also Genoa's city hall.
The unified collection was founded in 2004 with the decision to create a single visitor route linking all three palaces, all with a single owner. Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco had already been independent museums since 1874 and 1892 respectively, whilst parts of Palazzo Tursi had been given over to cultural uses since 2004. The route begins with 15th–20th century paintings in the Palazzo Rosso, followed by art produced in Genoa and Liguria by Spanish, Flemish and Italian artists from the 15th century onwards in the Palazzo Bianco, and concludes in the Palazzo Tursi with Antonio Canova's Penitent Magdalene and the ceramic, numismatic and Paganini collections.
