Albenga town

As you stroll through the heart of the city, you can admire the beauty of centuries of history as witnessed by the sumptuous palaces and numerous towers that stand among the narrow streets of the old town, symbols of power and domination in times past. The narrow “caruggi” (alleys) create a real labyrinth in which the most unexpected wonders are hidden, just waiting to be discovered and brought to light, such as the majestic Cathedral of St Michael Archangel, the wonderful, perfectly preserved early Christian Baptistery that alone is worth a visit. In the historical centre, you will also come across the Roman Naval Museum in the Peloso Cepolla Palace, where you will discover amphorae and unique artefacts recovered from the Roman ship Artiglio, which sank in the sea opposite the city.
