Albenga Italy

Albenga is a town near the coast of Liguria in north-west Italy. The highlights for visitors are the interesting medieval centre with the baptistry and cathedral, and the museum that contains the remains of a 1st century ship. Interesting to note, in Roman times Albenga was a busy port town called Albium Ingaunum. The coast receded over the centuries and the modern town is no longer on the coast. Albenga is unique in Liguria in that it has preserved the town's ancient Roman structure, with the two main streets, the “cardo” and “decumanus” intersecting at the center, and a series of medieval towers perfectly integrated in the layout - hence Albenga is also known as the 'city of a hundred towers'.
