Nestled in the charming town of Albenga, the Museo Navale Romano is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts and maritime lovers alike. This captivating museum delves into the rich naval heritage of the region, tracing its evolution from ancient Phoenician times through to Roman dominance and even modern maritime advancements. Among its remarkable exhibits are stunning artifacts recovered from shipwrecks, including an impressive collection of ancient amphorae that vividly illustrate trade practices of yesteryears.
Absolutely fascinating museum. Great artifacts from the Roman wreck.

So disappointing that this museum is still closed. I’ve been coming to Albenga for two years and waiting for it to open!
Claire F — Google review
(Translated by Google) A museum that is not very large but certainly interesting, very well documented, with numerous finds, bas-reliefs, reconstructions of Roman cargo ships and an incredible collection of oil amphorae found intact in the hull of an ancient ship that sank not far from the coast. A dive into a part of the Mediterranean's past. (Original) Un museo non grandissimo ma di certo interessante, molto ben documentato, con numerosi reperti, bassorilievi, ricostruzioni di navi onerarie romane e un’incredibile raccolta di anfore olearie rinvenute integre nello scafo di un’antica nave affondata poco distante dalla costa. Un tuffo in una parte del passato del Mediterraneo.

(Translated by Google) Housed in the rooms of Palazzo Peloso Cepolla, in the historic center of Albenga, it exhibits the exceptional discovery of 1950, the Roman ship sunk off the coast of the Ligurian town. The museum was reorganized and reopened in June 2023; The finds on display are of considerable importance, from the amphorae to the reconstruction of the ship's winch (Original) Ospitato nelle sale del Palazzo Peloso Cepolla, nel centro storico di Albenga, espone l'eccezionale ritrovamento del 1950, la nave romana affondata al largo della cittadina ligure.

(Translated by Google) It must be said, I go around and travel a lot to see the history of my country (and I am one of those people who goes specifically to raise awareness of sites that have been very important and I try in my own small way to connect them) and the more I realize that Liguria it was a fundamental area for history in the period of the Roman Empire but little known. So by asking about the naval museum I discovered that there are dozens of road amphorae found in the ancient Centa delta which is located near the Gallinara island. Incredible!!! However, I wasn't able to see them in person because the museum is closed indefinitely for restoration work. Sin (Original) Bisogna dirlo, io giro e viaggio tanto per vedere la storia del mio paese( e io sono una di quelle persone che va apposta per far conoscere siti che sono stati importantissimi e cerco nel mio piccolo di collegarli) e più mi rendo conto che la Liguria è stato una zona fondamentale per la storia nel periodo del impero romano ma poco conosciuto. Così chiedendo del museo navale ho scoperto che sono custodite decine di anfore viarie trovate nel antico delta del centa che si trova vicino al isola della gallinara. Incredibile!!! Comunque non le ho potute vedere di persona perché il museo è chiuso ad oltranza per lavori di restauro. Peccato

Nestled in the picturesque town of Albenga, along the stunning Italian Riviera, lies the Museo Diocesano e Battistero Paleocristiano. This captivating museum is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts and art lovers alike. It showcases an impressive array of artworks, including paintings, miniatures, sculptures, silverware, and exquisite tapestries from the 16th century that were unearthed during excavations at the cathedral.
Good museum. Exposition is not very big but is very interesting. One tip: sometimes museum staffed with only one man, so if ticket office is closed see on the notes on the door - the tickets could be issued in Baptistery downstairs or in museum upstairs (ring the bell). Ticket price is €5.
Vasilii A — Google review
Great mosaic in Baptisterium and very much interesting museum - from Roman time to current time, especially medieval altar pieces are moving with all Saints symbols. Worth a ticket cost, not a good idea for kids, not fit for mobility reduced people either - steps only.
Vit V — Google review
For just €6 you get a guided visit to the 6th century baptistery (with its mosaic) and a visit to the museum - small but with lots of 15-16th century artworks, artefacts and curiosities that I found fascinating. Well-informed helpful guide.

(Translated by Google) The diocesan museum of Albenga includes differentiated routes between the building that hosts it (former Bishop's Palace in via Episcopio) and the marvelous early Christian Baptistery dating back to the 5th century. The guides and the ladies at the ticket office were very kind. Visited on a public holiday, and a rainy one at that, we didn't find it crowded, and we were able to enjoy everything with due calm. The various rooms of the museum alternate works of great interest, mostly local, ranging from painting to textiles, from sculpture to goldsmithery, from tapestries to pottery, to late antique archaeological finds recovered in the baptistery. All very interesting, and speaking of the baptistery, don't miss the ancient baptismal font and the Christological-themed mosaic. Absolutely recommended for visitors to the historic center of the Ligurian town! (Original) Il museo diocesano di Albenga comprende percorsi differenziati tra il palazzo che lo ospita (ex Palazzo Vescovile in via Episcopio) ed il meraviglioso Battistero paleocristiano risalente al V secolo. Molto gentili le guide e le signore alla biglietteria. Visitato in un giorno festivo, per di più piovoso, non abbiamo trovato affollamento, e ci siamo potuti godere tutto con la dovuta calma. Le varie sale del museo alternano opere di grande interesse, per lo più locali, che spaziano dalla pittura al tessile, dalla scultura all'oreficeria, dagli arazzi al vasellame, ai reperti archeologici tardo antichi recuperati nel battistero. Tutto molto interessante, e a proposito del battistero, da non perdere l'antico fonte battesimale e il mosaico a tema cristologico. Assolutamente consigliato per i visitatori del centro storico della cittadina Ligure!

(Translated by Google) This beautiful archaeological complex in the historic center of Albenga is a surprise. The baptistery is splendidly preserved and is a one-of-a-kind. A must-see! Magnificent, and finally, an exhibition with a thoughtful, appropriate layout, hosted by the diocesan museum: Baroque Waves. Blue panels display works by local painters that once graced churches in western Liguria. It's a chance to admire them and get suggestions for future visits to the original churches. Unfortunately, the lighting often doesn't reflect the chiaroscuro of the paintings, but that's the only flaw in this splendid exhibition. (Original) Una sorpresa questo bellissimo complesso archeologico custodito nel centro storico di Albenga. Il battistero è splendidamente conservato e costituisce un pezzo unico nel suo genere. Da vedere !! Magnifica e finalmente una mostra con un allestimento misurato è appropriato quella ospitata dal museo diocesano ..Onde Barocche. Pannelli blu espongono opere di pittori locali che erano in altrettante chiese del ponente ligure. Una occasione per ammirarle e per avere suggerimenti di visite ulteriori nelle chiese originarie.. purtroppo l illuminazione spesso non rispetta i chiaro scuri dei quadri .. ma è l’unico neo di questa splendida mostra

(Translated by Google) The diocesan museum is divided between the former bishop's palace and the 5th-century baptistery. It is divided into several floors, ranging from Roman archaeological finds recovered in the baptistery to paintings, textiles, and pottery, including several local works. Visited during a weekday in September, it was not crowded. (Original) Il museo diocesano si divide tra l'ex palazzo vescovile e il battistero del v secolo. È diviso in diversi piani che spaziano da reparti archeologici di epoca Romana recuperarti nel Battistero, alla pittura, al tessile e al vasellame con diverse opere anche locali. Visitato in settimana a settembre è stato poco affollato.

(Translated by Google) Albenga has a particularly fascinating and relaxing historic centre. Under the many towers, in the streets and small squares, bars and restaurants alternate which sometimes host 'extemporaneous shows' which give you the opportunity to stop and enjoy the city at its best. It is worth dedicating some time to the artistic jewels such as the baptistery and the diocesan museum. The baptistery, which bears witness to the changes in the rites of our Faith with the works carried out over the centuries, has now returned to being used for baptisms. Standing in front of the baptismal font, with your eyes on the frescoed niche, as if in a time machine, brings to life the baptismal rites that have taken place over time. The prayer rises by itself, from the heart to the lips. The Museum was once the Bishop's House. Mrs Anna, already a volunteer guide in Emilia, helped us to understand the destination of the various rooms, the value of the paintings, their origin and the stories hidden behind some of the objects on display. An accompaniment that gave further value to the visit, at the end of which we dutifully thanked. (Original) Albenga, ha un centro storico particolarmente affascinante e rilassante. Sotto le tante torri, nelle strade e nelle piazzette, si alternano bar e ristoranti che a volte ospitano ‘spettacoli estemporanei’ che danno modo di sostare e gustare al meglio la città. Vale la pena dedicare un po’ di tempo ai gioielli d’arte quali il battistero e il Museo diocesano. Il battistero, che riporta con le opere eseguite nei secoli la testimonianza dei mutamenti dei riti della nostra Fede, è tornato oggi ad essere usato per i battesimi. Stare in piedi, fronte alla vasca battesimale, gli occhi alla nicchia affrescata, come per una macchina del tempo, riporta in vita i riti battesimali succedutisi nel Tempo. Sale da sola, dal cuore alle labbra, la preghiera. Il Museo era una volta la Casa vescovile. La signora Anna, già Guida volontaria in Emilia, ci ha aiutato a conoscere la destinazione delle varie stanze, il valore delle tele, la loro provenienza e le storie che si celano dietro ad alcuni oggetti esposti. Un’accompagnamento che ha dato ulteriore valore alla visita, alla fine della quale abbiamo doverosamente ringraziato.

The Chiesa di Santa Maria in Fontibus, a small church located just a few meters away from the cathedral, has undergone numerous renovations and remodeling over the years. Its design is distinguished by its straightforward and unadorned style. The main entrance is truly magnificent and breathtaking. In contrast to the recent unsightly churches, this historical gem boasts interiors that are consistent with the time period it was built in.

Lorenzo B — Google review
(Translated by Google) The proximity to the Cathedral of San Michele Arcangelo puts it a little in the shade, yet Santa Maria in Fontibus is a church of great beauty and historical interest. Of course, the various alterations that have taken place over the centuries, not least the medieval restoration of the façade which took place in the early twentieth century, have slightly distorted the original construction. Yet even today its Romanesque origins are completely evident. Mentioned for the first time in 1098, it has a Gothic ogival portal of great value, in whose lunette there is a bas-relief of the Madonna and Child, and a beautiful three-light window embellished with a small rose window. (Original) La vicinanza con la Cattedrale di San Michele Arcangelo la mette un po' in ombra, eppure Santa Maria in Fontibus è una chiesa di grande bellezza e interesse storico. Certo, i vari rimaneggiamenti susseguitisi nel corso dei secoli, non ultimo il restauro in senso medievale della facciata avvenuto nei primi del Novecento, hanno leggermente snaturato la costruzione originaria. Eppure ancora oggi le sue origini romaniche sono del tutto evidenti. Citata per la prima volta nel 1098, presenta un portale ogivale gotico di grande pregio, nella cui lunetta è posto un bassorilievo della Madonna col Bambino, e una bella trifora impreziosita da un piccolo rosone.

(Translated by Google) This church is very reminiscent of the Genoese ones from the republic period. It is a reborn monument given that it was demolished and rebuilt to widen Via Enrico D Aste. The interior has been excessively adorned (although very interesting) because the church dates back to before the year 1000. (Original) Questa chiesa ricorda moltissimo quelle genovesi del periodo della repubblica. È un monumento rinato visto che è stata demolito e ricostruito per ampliare via Enrico D Aste.

The Battistero Paleocristiano di Albenga is an early Christian baptistery dating back to the fifth century. Its exterior is decagonal while the interior is octagonal, featuring a stunning mosaic and remnants of the original baptismal font.

(Translated by Google) The Baptistery of Albenga, built in the early Middle Ages, between the 5th and 6th centuries, is among the most important early Christian monuments in Liguria. The structure preserves the basin where, in ancient times, the rite of baptism by immersion was celebrated. It also houses a splendid polychrome mosaic from the 6th century: a starry vault with Christ's monogram at its center. The decagonal plan is surmounted by an octagonal drum with several single-lancet windows. It is a monument that harks back to a time when Christian spirituality was at the center of daily life. (Original) Il Battistero di Albenga, edificato in epoca altomedievale, tra V e VI secolo, è fra i monumento paleocristiani più importanti della Liguria. La struttura conserva al suo interno la vasca dove, nell’antichità, era celebrato il rito battesimale a immersione. Ospita anche uno splendido mosaico policromo del sesto secolo: una volta stellata con al centro il monogramma di Cristo. La pianta è decagonale, sormontata da un tamburo ottagonale su cui si aprono alcune monofore. È un monumento che rimanda a un periodo in cui la spiritualità cristiana era al centro dell'esistenza quotidiana.

It contains a mosaic with 12 magnificent doves, the names of early martyrs, a central basin, and a "basin" with a pedestal in the shape of a tripartite holy water font, made of white marble used for baptisms. It must be seen in person to truly appreciate its beauty. (Original) Del V secolo pianta a base esterna decagonale ed interna ottagonale. Contiene mosaico con 12 meravigliose colombe, nomi di martiri dei primi secoli, una vasca centrale ed un "catino" con piedestallo a forma di acquasantiera tripartita, di marmo bianco utilizzato per il battesimo.

Albenga's first cathedral was built in the late 4th century, and was rebuilt in the 13th century with three naves in Gothic-Romanesque style. The interior of the church has three naves, divided by columns and pilasters supporting pointed arches. The façade features a remarkable rose window and is flanked by the bell tower, rebuilt in the late 14th century.

(Translated by Google) The Lengueglia-Doria tower house is one of the most beautiful testimonies of the splendor that Albenga enjoyed in the Middle Ages. Of particular value are the ogival mullioned and triple-lancet windows, in Gothic style, which suggest a renovation of the building which took place around the 14th century. Worth seeing. (Original) La casa-torre Lengueglia-Doria è una delle più belle testimonianze dello splendore di cui godette Albenga nel medioevo. Di particolare pregio sono le finestre a bifore e trifore ogivali, dal gusto gotico, che fanno supporre una ristrutturazione dell'edifico avvenuta verso il XIV Secolo. Da vedere.

Bridge
Pontelungo, a stunning thirteenth-century bridge located at the entrance of Albenga, is a remarkable piece of history that invites visitors to explore its ancient roots. Built around 1200 on the site of the old Centa River, this Roman-era structure offers a picturesque walk through time. As you stroll towards Pontelungo, you'll encounter fascinating archaeological sites like the remains of the Basilica of San Vittore and ancient Roman baths nearby.
(Translated by Google) "the long bridge" is part of the thirteenth century architecture even if it may seem Roman but both the Cisano stone and the very large hips are not from that period. It is 150 m long like the entire bed of the centa which was naturally buried to move the bed further west. Maybe the Genoese had the habit of burying important things (see the port of Savona). However, still ancient with its monastery of the Ponterii friars for wayfarers, all linked to a site in Avignon in Provence. I have always said that Liguria is magnificent and very rich in history (Original) " il ponte lungo" fa parte del anchitettura del tredicesimo secolo anche se può sembrare romano ma sia la pietra del Cisano che gli anchi così ampi non sono di quel periodo. È lungo 150 m come tutto il letto del centa che naturalmente è stato interrato per spostare il letto più a ponente. Sara no stati i genovesi avevano l abitudine di interrare le cose importanti( vedesi porto di Savona). Comunque sempre antico con relativo monastero dei frati ponterii per viandanti il tutto legato ad un sito di Avignone in Provenza. Io l ho sempre detto che la Liguria è magnifica e ricchissima di storia

(Translated by Google) It is located in the basement at the Albenga exit next to the Vecchia Aurelia towards Savona. It can be explored on foot and is worth doing! It's like a leap into ancient Rome. (Original) Si trova seminterrato all'uscita di Albenga a fianco della Vecchia Aurelia verso Savona. Si può percorrere a piedi e merita farlo! È come un salto nell'antica Roma.

(Translated by Google) Ancient Roman bridge at the entrance to Albenga, a town which also boasts several remains of Roman villas and baths and an entire baptistery with the cathedral next to it, both early Christian. City even pre-existing compared to Roman domination. (Original) Antico ponte romano all'ingresso di Albenga, cittadina che vanta anche diversi resti di ville e terme romane e un intero battistero con a fianco la cattedrale, entrambi paleocristiani. Città addirittura pre esistente rispetto alla dominazione romana.
