Blue route

Welcome to the Blue Route , one of the thematic itineraries proposed by the City of Albenga within the European project NewPilgrimAge , dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours.

Created by the FAI Giovani – Albenga-Alassio group, this route will take you among the city's medieval towers, telling stories of architecture, traditions, and ancient families that have shaped the life of Albenga.

The journey is designed to be followed independently: thanks to the map and the in-depth information available at each stage , you can choose whether to read the contents or listen to them in the form of audio narrations , created with the voices of the readers of the APS #Cosavuoichetilegga .

The itinerary ends outside the walls , with two unmissable stops: the historic Via Julia Augusta , which offers unique views of the sea and archaeology, and the evocative Genoese Fort located in Piazza Europa.

A journey between past and present, where medieval stones intertwine with timeless panoramas.
