Alessandria, Railway hub in Piedmont, Italy
The city stands at the meeting point of Bormida and Tanaro rivers, surrounded by agricultural lands and industrial districts in northwestern Italy.
Founded in 1168 as a defense stronghold, the city received its name from Pope Alexander III during the resistance against Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
The Cathedral, constructed in 1170, presents a collection of religious artifacts and architectural elements from medieval northern Italian design.
The central train station connects Milan, Turin, and Genoa through multiple daily services, making it a transportation center for the Piedmont region.
The Cittadella, an 18th-century military fortress, remains one of the best-preserved examples of European military architecture from that period.
