There is street market on Tuesday, it’s fun to walk around for my first time visiting.

A must see. Very cool history and walk around the town. Lots of neat places nearby to get food.

Very friendly atmosphere and lovely decor make it very inviting. The staff is super nice and attentive. The food is fresh, delicious, and nicely presented. The view of the Fontana is beautiful. A perfect place for a great meal.

Amazing 75 c water just running, a place to visit when in this area We where there on a sunday so not many People. But think on a normal day there is much more. A very nice city also with a lot of shops, so if you want to see an old italian city this is a place to visit

Wonderful late 18th century natural thermal spring. Be careful not to burn your hands, it's about 75°C in winter! The town itself offers lots of cozy bars and cafes and comes alive in the evening

Temple to water? Yes please! Bollente hot springs surge from a glorious temple in a pretty town square. Reconnect with water. 💙💧💙

A nice place to stroll around. Ofc the water stinks (of hydrogen sulfide).

Its really beautiful to see and has a huge park to walk on the side. Unfortunately when i visited there was a flood due to rain and me and my wife couldn't go down.

Amazing scenery, wonderful town, friendly people !

Very cool, well preserved remains of a Romantic Aqueduct. There are educational displays in Italian and English. No entry charge (as they are just in the middle of a public park).

It's there and it's old. Not much more to say about it. A bit far out from the town centre parking to walk easily.

Park with ancient Roman Aqueduct remains. Nice park with bike route and walking area. Lots of benches and bike parking areas.

Nice place to visit with kids: there's a big playground nearby and you can seat and enjoy a view of remains of impressive big aqueduct.

Roman ruins. Iconic and historic, but that's about it. You'll have to Google the history yourself. Great spot for pictures as the sun goes down.

We had the great privilege of getting married in the magnificent cathedral of Acqui Terme — a sacred, majestic place full of history. All of our guests were deeply impressed by the beauty and grandeur of the venue — a hidden gem in the heart of the city. The ceremony was celebrated by Bishop Luigi Testore, a kind, open-minded, and attentive man who speaks several languages, which was incredibly valuable for our international group of guests. Our preparation was guided by Don Giorgio, who supported us with clarity, warmth, and discretion, while allowing us the freedom to shape a ceremony that truly reflected who we are. We will always carry a strong and emotional memory of that moment. Whether you are religious or simply a lover of meaningful places, this cathedral is truly worth discovering.

Amazing. While looking around silently an older man came up to me and bade me to follow him into a room he had to unlock. Fearing but God (not death nor the devil), I followed him and was rewarded with access to the beautiful (folding)altar you see in the pictures. There are nice flyers available of that there too. Caring trust is still worth it :) p.s.: The picture of the ceiling is not showing God high-fiving (as it seemed at first), but the expulsion of Luzifer btw.

Lovely Place. Do not forget to listen to the guide.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately we were not able to visit the whole place but from the outside it already promises a lot. We arrived there in the evening (Original) Purtroppo nn siamo riusciti a visitare l’intero ma già da fuori promette molto. Ci siamo arrivati in serata

(Translated by Google) An unexpected discovery: Acqui Terme and its treasures. On our way home from vacation, we decided to stop in Acqui Terme, a town I wasn't familiar with and knew very little about. Searching online, I discovered a fountain in the center of town, "La Bollente," from which thermal water flows at a whopping 70 degrees Celsius. Intrigued, my family and I headed there before leaving. Upon arrival, we immediately realized the village held an ancient soul, but we had few historical references. It was then that, right in front of the fountain, we met two locals: Fabrizio and Leonardo. Both were friendly and helpful, and the conversation with them proved pleasant and interesting. The two friends volunteered to accompany us on a journey through Acqui Terme's most significant sites. With passion and expertise, Leonardo guided us to discover the town's historical and artistic treasures, enthusiastically recounting its history and traditions. His culture and historical knowledge are truly remarkable: every word conveyed a love for the region and a sincere desire to share it. We had an authentic experience that made us feel welcomed and involved. The visit to the Cathedral and the Chapel of San Guido, with the marvelous triptych of the Virgin of Montserrat from the 1400s, the spectacular and austere crypt supported by 98 columns, and the other iconic sites of the city were enriched by stories, details, and curiosities that left us wanting to return, this time with more time. A sincere thank you for your generosity, time, and dedication. It is thanks to people like them that a place becomes a precious memory. (Original) Una scoperta inaspettata: Acqui Terme e i suoi tesori. Durante il rientro a casa dopo le vacanze, abbiamo deciso di fare una tappa ad Acqui Terme, una cittadina che non conoscevo e di cui sapevo ben poco. Cercando qualche informazione su internet, ho scoperto l’esistenza di una fontana al centro del paese, “La Bollente”, dalla quale sgorga un’ acqua termale a ben 70 gradi centigradi. Incuriositi, io e la mia famiglia ci siamo diretti lì prima di ripartire. Appena arrivati, ci siamo subito accorti che il borgo custodiva un’anima antica, ma avevamo pochi riferimenti storici. È stato allora che, proprio davanti alla fontana, abbiamo incontrato due cittadini del posto: Fabrizio e Leonardo. Entrambi sono stati cordiali e disponibili e la conversazione con loro si è rivelata piacevole e interessante. I due amici si sono offerti volontari per accompagnarci in un vero e proprio viaggio tra i luoghi più significativi di Acqui Terme. Con passione e competenza, Leonardo ci ha guidati alla scoperta dei beni storici e artistici della città, raccontando con entusiasmo la sua storia e le sue tradizioni. La sua cultura e preparazione storica sono davvero notevoli: ogni parola trasmetteva amore per il territorio e il desiderio sincero di condividerlo. Abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza autentica, che ci ha fatto sentire accolti e coinvolti. La visita alla Cattedrale e alla Cappella di San Guido, con il meraviglioso trittico della vergine di Montserrat del 1400, la spettacolare e austera cripta sorretta dalle 98 colonne, e agli altri luoghi simbolo della città è stata arricchita da racconti, dettagli e curiosità che ci hanno lasciato il desiderio di tornare, questa volta con più calma. Un grazie sincero per la generosità, il tempo e la dedizione. È grazie a persone come loro che un luogo si trasforma in un ricordo prezioso.

(Translated by Google) The cathedral of Acqui is still a very beautiful building despite the various architectural alterations it has undergone over its almost thousand years of history. Of the original Romanesque construction, perhaps only the crypt and the later apses remain. Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, it was considerably modified, both on the facade and inside. The crypt is worth seeing, with its 98 columns and some traces of ancient frescoes. The small Gothic cloister is less impressive, as is the beautiful bell tower. Inside, with three richly decorated naves, it preserves various works of art of a certain importance, but the real jewel is the triptych of the Madonna of Montserrat, the central part of which is the work of the great Bartolomé Bermejo, the greatest Spanish painter of the fifteenth century. To see it (it is in the sacristy) and to appreciate the explanations of the volunteer guide, a donation is appreciated. (Original) Il duomo di Acqui è ancora un gran bell' edificio nonostante i diversi rimaneggiamenti architettoni subiti in quasi mille anni di storia . Della primigenia costruzione romanica rimangono forse solo la cripta e le absidi posteriori . Tra il Quattrocento ed il Seicento venne modificato parecchio , sia nella facciata che all' interno . Da vedere la cripta con le sue 98 colonne e qualche traccia di antichi affreschi . Meno d' effetto è il piccolo chiostro gotico , come il bel campanile . All' interno , a tre navate riccamente decorate , conserva varie opere d' arte di una certa importanza ma il vero gioiello è il trittico della Madonna di Montserrat , la cui parte centrale è opera del grande Bartolomè Bermejo , il maggior pittore spagnolo del Quattrocento . Per vederlo ( è in sacrestia ) ed apprezzare le spiegazioni della guida volontaria è gradita un' offerta .

(Translated by Google) Our Lady of the Assumption The Cathedral of Acqui Terme (Italy) is dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady. It is located in the province of Alessandria and the region of Piedmont. It was built in the 12th century in the Romanesque style. The apses, transept, and crypt are preserved from this period. The rest dates from the 18th century, during the Baroque period. It consists of three naves decorated with stucco and frescoes from the 18th to the 19th centuries. The slender bell tower and the main portal, built in the 15th century, are notable on the exterior. (Original) Nuestra Señora de la Asunción La catedral de Acqui Terme (Italia), está dedicada a la Asunción de Nuestra Señora. Se encuentra en la provincia de Alessandria y región del Piamonte. Se inicio en el siglo XII, en estilo románico. De esta época se conservan los ábsides, el crucero y la cripta. El resto pertenece al siglo XVIII, en la época barroca. Consta de tres naves decoradas con estucos y frescos de los siglos XVIII al XIX. Al exterior destaca el esbelto campanario y la portada principal, construidos en el siglo XV.

This wonder of nature shoud be better respected. Maybe a plate whith composition and benefits of water, some historic references.and a better maintenance .

(Translated by Google) It is not valued as much as it deserves. As well as various historical institutions of Acqui Terme: the ancient baths, the Roman swimming pool.... (Original) Non è valorizzata quanto meriterebbe. Così come diverse istituzioni storiche di Acqui Terme: le terme antiche, la piscina Romana....

(Translated by Google) Ideal for those who love (so to speak) sulphurous water...it's not called rotten for nothing... (Original) Ideale per chi ama (si fa x dire) l'acqua sulfurea...non per niente si chiama marcia...

(Translated by Google) Beautiful neoclassical fountain with cold Acqui water, while in the center it is hot (Original) Bellissima fontana neoclassica con l'acqua di Acqui fredda, mentre in centro è calda

(Translated by Google) a little out of the way and close to the now disused spa (what a shame!). source of healing water!!! (Original) un po' fuori mano e vicina alle Terme ormai in disuso( che peccato!). sorgente di acqua curativa!!!

(Translated by Google) cleaned 3 times gone and always satisfied (Original) pulito 3 volte andato e sempre soddisfatto

(Translated by Google) Cold sulphurous water (Original) Acqua sulfurea fredda

I agree with the comment that the place is lacking funding to recover its splendour. Also we stayed mid October and the place was very vacant and felt very lonely. In the positive, the breakfast was a feast.

The Villa was already closed when I arrived. But when I return to Acqui Terme in the future I definitely plan to visit the villa. I would recommend driving to Villa Ottolenghi for the amazing views of Acqui Terme!

We did a weekend tour and the guide was great however the Villa itself was tired and needed an injection of money and love to bring it up the standard I imagine it once was. The bones of the gardens are visible however it lacked recent care and attention.

Guides were very generous with their time - the visit lasted about 2 hours with wine tasting afterwards. It is in a beautiful setting and there are interesting decorative and historical details regarding the building and it's original owners.

The Monterosso complex in Acqui Terme is the only example in Italy of close collaboration between architects, painters, sculptors and patrons to create the creation of a manor house characterized by the presence of important works of art. In 1920 the Counts Ottolenghi, Arturo and Herta von Wedekind zu Horst entrusted the design of Villa Ottolenghi, first to Federico d'Amato and then to the famous architect Marcello Piacentini. The patronage of the Ottolenghi brought a good number of artists to Monterosso: Ferruccio Ferrazzi, Fortunato Depero, Adolfo Wildt, Libero Andreotti, Fiore Martelli, Arturo Martini, Rosario Murabito, Venanzo Crocetti and Ferruccio Ferrazzi. It was at Villa Ottolenghi that Arturo Martini produced and brought some of his most important works including "Il Tobiolo, Adamo ed Eva, the Lions of Monterosso ...". On the death of the Counts, it is the son Astolfo who undertakes to complete the villa with the park by Pietro Porcinai. Not far from the villa, the Mausoleum, today "Temple of Herta", and the park, obtained from a precise scenographic design which takes the name of "Earthly Paradise". The huge portal of the Temple, in bronze, nickel and engraved copper, a monumental work of the masters Ernesto and Mario Ferrari, is a prelude to the beauty of the frescoes by Ferruccio Ferrazzi, and of the mosaics made by the mosaic school of Ravenna. And then around the villa the formal Garden, the Well, the Studies, the Cisternone and the Promenade that runs along the perimeter of the complex, the Graffiti, the Wisteria Pergola, the Swimming Pool, the Cellar ... are stages of a path of discovery that surprises for the attention to detail and here and there wrought iron masterpieces emerge such as: mushrooms, turtles, birds, snails ... the swivel armchairs in marble and among all this emerge the sculptures of the artist Herta.

Amazing marble and even more amazing doors!! 🍾

Wonderful Location and so friendly Managers. To recommend.

For some reason they put up a sign at the roman baths, that both the baths AND the civic museum are temporarily closed. Which apparently isn't true, but we discovered this long after we left Roman baths closed, fountain under reconstruction, thermal baths either temporarily closed or abandoned. This town really doesn't want tourists to visit In short: So thank you to whoever put up this sign for wasting a whole day

Only Italian signs and descriptions..! Very well preserved castle, small & cosy museum..! Briliand surroundings excellent garden..!

Small museum with some local finds. 20min worth of visit.

Very intresting

(Translated by Google) On the occasion of the FAI Autumn Days, during which some rooms used as prisons until a few decades ago were also visible (and sadly a topical topic even today), we visited this small but interesting museum. At the moment it consists of just a few rooms but the finds which are continually being discovered and present in the basement are so numerous that it gives rise to hope that the museum will soon be able to be significantly enriched. (Original) In occasione delle Giornate d’Autunno Fai, durante le quali erano visibili anche alcuni locali adibiti a carcere fino a non molti decenni fa (e argomento tristemente d’attualità anche ai nostri giorni), abbiamo visitato questo piccolo ma interessante museo. Al momento consta di poche sale ma i reperti in continuo rinvenimento e presenti nei sotterranei sono così numerosi da far ben sperare che il museo potrà presto essere notevolmente arricchito.

The museum was closed, even the hours of operations said open Sundays 10 am-1 pm . Very disappointing,the castle looked amazing outside.

(Translated by Google) The museum is beautiful, very well-maintained, with interesting exhibits and a beautiful location. (Original) Bello il museo molto ben curato con reperti interessanti, location bellissima
