We were much taken by Alba's Centro Storico on a number of visits we made when staying near Asti. In fact we much preferred it to Asti! It is a joy to stroll around with many pedestrianised streets, an excellent central piazza, a superb Duomo, some very interesting smaller churches, and lots of cafes and restaurants. Lots of noisy locals and happy tourists made for great people watching. If you're staying anywhere near Alba you should most assuredly pay the old historical centre a visit.

For a small church in a small town, this is quite impressive. It has some relics of some saint....neveer sure about these claims.

We like our churches old, but don’t expect them to evolve in ways that are recognizable. Here is a church founded in the 11th century. It has been cared for, renovated, and restored for centuries (you can Google the history and details), but what I really appreciate about this cathedral is the very modern chandelier (for lack of a better term) that hangs above the alter. I know nothing about it, but it’s like a constellation of stars. It reminds us (or me) that we also have a place in history; we might not see it now — just as generations of artists and parishioner throughout the ages gave little thought to our 21st-century reaction — but it signaled to me that tourists in the next millennium will look at this light fixture as something antiquated. So many churches seem artificially stuck in time; this bridges past and present. And now I feel a part of history.

I don't think this functions as a church any more but we were there for a musical concert. It has so much to admire inside and the music was lovely too.
