Alba Essentials

Alba, the capital of the Langhe region, is defined by its medieval skyline and the legacy of the Roman city, Alba Pompeia. This collection features the Romanesque-Gothic Cattedrale di San Lorenzo and several historic casa-torri that once symbolized noble power. The city's global reputation for white truffles is explored through specialized museums like Mudet and heritage shops like Tartufi Ponzio. Beyond the center, the 14th-century Castello di Roddi offers insights into the local truffle-hunting tradition and panoramic views of the Tanaro valley.
