Albenga is an absolutely recommended city on the Ligurian coast. Located in the province of
Savona, on the sea, you can simply enjoy the visit of the city in connection with a beach holiday. I saw a pepper tree in this city for the first time in my life. Before the old town, these trees are located in a park. Here was the meeting place with our guide.
When he arrived, we went to the old town, which is still surrounded by the
old walls. In Albenga there are many
towers. In the Middle Ages they were built, as fortresses but at the same time also residential towers. The height of the tower showed the wealth of the family. They are still to be seen only in a few cities.
We also visited the
cathedral, and we saw the
Roman excavations. Here were the
ruins of an amphitheater and
thermal baths. In addition to the towers, we have seen many homes of rich aristocratic families, and in the center of course there are also several
museums.
After visiting the city, I went to the beach. It was still spring, near the water was windy and quiet, but the city was quite lively.
