The programme

Leaving the port, we set off towards the city of Albenga, whose ancient city walls enclose its pointed red towers and protect a treasure trove of Roman, Medieval and Renaissance architecture.
Our guide leads us through atmospheric streets, helping us to discover the best that this little city on the Riviera di Ponente has to offer. You can visit “Magiche Trasparenze” exhibition (“Magical Transparencies”) which displays glassware found during architectural excavations in the city’s necropolises. These include the famous Blue Plate, a piece unlike any other anywhere in the world.
We cross the picturesque Piazza di San Michele over which looms the eponymous Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral, and admire the octagonal 5th-century Baptistry– the oldest palaeo-Christian monument in Liguria – which houses an impressive mosaic.
