Albenga, Italy

Albenga Italy

Albenga is a town near the coast of Liguria in north-west Italy. Highlights for visitors include its interesting medieval center with a baptistery and cathedral, and a museum that houses the remains of a 1st-century ship. In Roman times Albenga was a busy port town called Albium Ingaunum, but over the centuries the coastline receded and the modern town now lies inland. Albenga is unique in Liguria for preserving its ancient Roman town plan, with two main streets—the cardo and decumanus—intersecting at the center, and a series of medieval towers perfectly integrated into the layout. Because of this, Albenga is also known as the “city of a hundred towers.”
