Top Attractions in Alessandria
💡 Go Tuesday or Thursday morning for the best food selection. Try the robiola cheese from local farms – soft, tangy, €3 for a generous wedge.
💡 Weekday mornings are best—the building is quiet, and you can sometimes peek into the council chamber if the door is ajar.
💡 The castle courtyard is free to enter and often hosts open-air markets on Saturday mornings. Grab a focaccia from Panificio Guala nearby.
💡 The archaeological basement with Roman and medieval artefacts is the highlight. Visit on a free Sunday, but avoid the last hour when they start closing rooms.
💡 Look for the small fresco cycle in the right transept—it depicts local saints and is easy to miss if you focus only on the main altar.
💡 Look for the carved wooden choir stalls from the 18th century—they're original from an earlier church. Visit just before closing when the light through the dome is best.
💡 Climb the campanile (ring the custodian, €2 coin donation) for a wide view of the city and the Po plain. Best at sunset.
💡 Light a candle at the side chapel of the Virgin—locals swear by it. The crypt door can be locked; ask the sacristan if it's closed.
