Tourism in the district of Alessandria
A military stronghold
Founded in 1168 by Pope Alessandro III, from where the name of the town comes from, Alessandria expanded during medieval time as a municipality on its own first, and then under Visconti, Sforza and Spain until, in 1708, she was finally given to Duke Vittorio Amedeo II of the Savoy dinasty.
Well known as a military stronghold, thanks to the strategic position between Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria.
