This important seaside resort along the "Riviera di Ponente" (Western Riviera) is situated at the estuary of the Centa river, and was strategically important since Roman times, being on the Via Aurelia, one of the main Roman roads. The commune includes also the Natural Reserve of the island of Gallinara, where existed a monastery dedicated to St Martin from Tours. Albenga occupies one of the very few plain areas of Liguria, where an intensive agriculture is practised, as well as a rich production of flowers.
