Albenga

The historic district of Albenga maintains a Roman grid layout with two primary streets intersecting at the center, surrounded by medieval buildings and towers.

Founded in the 4th century BC, Albenga served as the capital of the Ingauni tribe before joining the Roman Empire in 45 BC under Julius Caesar.

The Cathedral of San Michele showcases architectural evolution from Romanesque to Gothic styles, containing significant artworks and a 15th-century Last Judgement fresco.

The train station connects to the historic center through a 700-meter walk along Viale Martiri della Libertà, leading to numerous shops and restaurants.

The fifth-century Baptistry features an unusual design with a ten-sided exterior and eight-sided interior, housing an ancient font and sixth-century Christian mosaics.
