Alba Docilia, Archaeological site in Albisola Superiore, Italy.
Alba Docilia is a Roman villa complex near Albisola Superiore with residential spaces, heating systems, and bathing facilities. Buildings spread across the slope with storage rooms arranged around an inner courtyard.
The complex developed in Roman times and flourished during the 2nd century. Excavations starting in the late 19th century brought the remains to light.
The thermal bath shows with its circular structure how Romans used heat and water in daily life. These rooms reveal social practices and how people gathered in ancient times.
Informational panels guide visitors through the site and explain the different areas. A visit is best planned on dry days since some paths on the slope can be challenging to navigate.
The warehouse rooms and inner courtyard suggest this may have been a way station for travelers along the Roman road network. This dual purpose as residence and rest stop was common for wealthy settlements.
