Alba Underground (Alba Sotterranea)

Alba Underground, or Alba Sotterranea, consists of a network of medieval tunnels beneath the town of Alba in the Piedmont region, originally used for wine storage and later adapted for various purposes. Visitors see a labyrinth of brick arches and vaults that reflect the town's history, revealing layers of its past through guided tours. Plan for about an hour to explore the main sections, with visits best timed in the afternoon when tours are more frequent. Afterward, consider strolling through the town’s historic centre, where you can experience local cuisine and shop for truffles, a regional specialty.
