Piazza Roma

Piazza Roma was created as a result of the demolition of the church and monastery of St. Bernardino. The houses and the vault of the Gardini family (whose memory remains in the building on the corner of Via Balbo) marked the boundary between the Saint's market and the Cathedral market.

Comentini Tower
Corso Alfieri

One of the two towers remaining intact since their construction (13th century), approximately 38 metres hig. The building below is a neogothic construction of the 19th century.

Synagogue and Jewish Museum
8, Via Ottolenghi

Jewish cult building, attached to the "ghetto". The Jewish community settled in Asti in the early 14th century, and had grown to a notable size by the end of the 18th century. The Jews of Asti made a vast contribution to the economic and cultural development of the town, as well as to national politics (Isacco Artom). For visits of the Museum, apply to Mazzetti Palace (357, Corso Alfieri).
