Church of the Holy Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Santa Croce in Alassio, located on a panoramic hill, was built in the 11th century by Benedictine monks from Gallinara Island in Romanesque style. Characterized by its original apse and a 16th-century portico, the structure lay in ruins for centuries before being restored between the 1950s and 1970s.

This is a very nice hike. We recommend this route from Albenga because you have the sun in front of you. There are very nice sea views. Good shoes recommended, as mostly stony paths. Back by train.

It is a path exposed to midday and all halfway up the coast, which boasts a fair historical and archaeological value. It is in fact a stretch of the road built at the time of Emperor Augustus to connect the Po Valley with Gaul and Spain.

Really nice hike on the Via Julia Augusta. Only a few meters of the former Roman road remain, but that doesn't matter.

Because we would have reached our destination much quicker than expected, we spontaneously decided to take the detour via Monte Bignone, which was definitely worth it.
