Since the time of Alba Pompeia (that was the name of the city during the Roman age), the historical centre of the city has seen a sequence of generations of town, belonging to different civilizations, one after the other, in the same place . The medieval town grew up on the ruins pertaining to the Roman period, the modern town took its place without cancelling it completely, and so on, we arrived at today’s town that still retains the urban shape of Alba Pompeia. Many things have remained in the heart of the underground city as evidence of the past two thousand years of history. A few meters below the streets and the sidewalks, there are fragments of lost cities which constitute the rich heritage of the F. Eusebio Museum and of the archaeological and architectural city path. The ancient temple, the roman age theatre and main square, the first baptismal font, the lost medieval towers. The underground Alba route is a tour led by a professional archaeologist for a selection of three stages among the 32 of the city's archaeological trail in the city of Alba, with substantial remains from the Roman and medieval periods.
