Alba

Alba, Piedmont, a few kilometers to the south east of Turin, is one of the most picturesque locations of Italy. It is replete with nature's beauty. From hills to woodlands to vineyards and quite little hamlets on the hill tops, this city is one of the most beautiful tourist destinations of the country. There are some exquisite examples of architecture, including castles, churches and sanctuaries. The 12th-century Cathedral of Alba is an important religious attraction of the town.
