Albisola has been known for centuries for its ceramic and porcelain artwork. Even today you will find many handicraft stores that carry on this tradition. If you are interested in seeing some of the old art work then the Museo della Ceramica M. Trucco on the Corso Ferrari is the place for you (Mon-Sat 10am – 12pm, 3pm – 6:30pm).
The city of Albisola is divided into two townships, Albisola Superiore and Albisola Marina, by the river Sansobbia.
In the upper town of Albisola superiore is the 17th century church S. Nicolò. From here there is a perfect view of Albisola Marina. Along the sea you will find the ceramic promenade Lungomare degli Artisti which was constructed in 1963.
In the church Nostra Signora della Concordia there is a beautiful depiction of the birth of Christ made out of glazed tiles.
