Urban Trekking at the International Institute of Ligurian Studies in the historic center of Albenga

"GREEN Path"

Albenga has decided to propose an initiative dedicated to discovering the city “at a slow pace” .

The goal is to enhance and promote urban trekking routes, which can also be enjoyed independently throughout the year . The walks are designed to be enjoyed freely thanks to the maps and in-depth information available for each stage on the website scoprialbenga.it, with both text content, developed by the International Institute of Ligurian Studies, and audio narration, created with the voices of the readers of the APS #cosavuoichetilegga .

The journey begins!

The Green Route is designed to follow in the footsteps of Saint Martin of Tours and help you discover the iconic sites associated with his presence in the city.
