In the section of the Forum Fulvii are objects of ceramic, glass and iron from the 3rd century AD.

A visit to the Santa Maria di Castello Church will have you admiring a church built in 900 AD. It also houses numerous artworks commissioned by the noble families of Genoa. Next to the church is the large Tower of Embriaci and is also worth a visit. From here head to the Palazzo Ghilini to see a magnificent mansion befitting the history of the city. Move on to a see the exhibits at the Francesco Janniello, which displays keys and replicas of steel weapons. It also houses steel and iron works that date back to various periods, besides works by Janniello himself.

There is also an Ethnographic Museum in Alessandria which houses objects that were used in everyday life in the mountain regions in the last century and offers an interesting peek into what life was led a couple of generations ago.

There is also a picture gallery that displays 15th century paintings, along with the works of renowned artists.

If you happen to be here in the first week of July, you must take in the annual Fraskettando Ska Blues Jazz festival that is quite enjoyable. It has showcased many famous artists and makes for a delightful musical break. If you are a guitar aficionado, the Michele Pittaluga International Classical Guitar competition is an annual music competition for young guitarists and is a must visit.
