Historic centre of Albenga, Medieval old town in Albenga, Italy
The historic centre maintains its Roman urban layout with intersecting streets and multiple medieval towers rising throughout the urban fabric.
The area evolved from a Roman port called Albium Ingaunum into a medieval settlement, with the coast gradually receding over the centuries.
The Cathedral of San Michele exhibits a fusion of Romanesque architecture with Gothic elements, containing important artworks and archaeological discoveries.
Walking tours of the historic center start from Via Aurelia, leading visitors through narrow streets to main landmarks like the 5th-century baptistry.
The Roman-era baptistry features an unusual architectural design with a ten-sided exterior and an eight-sided interior containing a 6th-century mosaic.
