The Alba Diocesan Museum offers guided tours of the Romanesque bell tower of Alba Cathedral. Diocesan Museum guides will accompany you up to a height of 45 meters, traversing the ancient staircase carved between the two bell towers from the 10th and 12th centuries. After admiring the city of Alba from above, we will descend and continue with a visit to the archaeological trail located in the basement of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, which will allow you to discover important remains from Roman and medieval times, including the pavement of the decumanus of Alba Pompeia and the 6th-century baptismal font.
The afternoon will end, for all participants, with a snack in the flower garden of the Cathedral rectory to taste local products. Two rounds are scheduled: 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm. Address: Rossetti Square, entrance from the bell tower of St. Lawrence Cathedral.

MUDI – Museo Diocesano di Alba

Il Museo Diocesano di Alba nasce nel 2012 ed è il risultato di una campagna di scavo archeologico condotta tra il 2007 e il 2012 all'interno della Cattedrale di San Lorenzo. Il Museo ospita il lapidario, una raccolta eterogenea di pietre e marmi databili tra il I secolo e il XVII. Visitando il percorso archeologico sotterraneo si possono riscoprire le origini della città romana di Alba Pompeia, i resti della cattedrale paleocristiana e le sue trasformazioni fino al XII secolo.
