Alba, Capital Of Good Wine And Truffles
Perhaps the name "Alba" to many people will not say anything, but certainly everyone knows that of "Nutella": the famous spreadable cream was born right here. In fact, you will see that in addition to vines, the vegetation is also home to many hazelnut plants, at the foot of which truffles, another specialty of this small village, are often found.
On today's day we will taste some excellent Barolo and there will be no shortage of photography on the giant bench, this time red!

The Cathedral (found in Piazza Risorgimento is one of the city's main attractions. Built around 1500, in the Gothic style, it has been renovated several times.
Very beautiful, it is also and especially worth a visit inside.
In the same Square you can also enter and visit the hallway and entrance to the Town Hall, inside which on the main staircase you will find a Pieta and several frescoes dating back to the late 1300s.

Alba's nickname is "city of a hundred towers" because of the strong presence of these buildings for protective purposes. Many have been torn down, others incorporated into the buildings.
The three best-preserved towers are the Bonino Tower, the Astesiano Tower and the Sineo Tower, and unfortunately they cannot be visited from the inside, but can only be admired from the outside. All the towers are close to each other, so it is impossible not to notice them.
