How to put a museum in a historic church

Here I am laughing at something Elisabeth said while she took my picture. We have been here a week and have seen many many churches. I'm not sure which one this is.....


This is the hot spring in the middle of the historic city center. The water was super hot-way to hot to take a bath in. It was refreshing to splash a little on my face.

The Roman Ruins! We had a great guide for this stop-she was originally from England and spoke Italian with an English accent. Even though tain tracks run through part of the site, they have done a really good job of preserving the site. The signs are in two languages and they provide graphics to give the visitor a good idea of what the town looked like. 

Pretty building across the street from the post office in Alessandria

Awesome musuem inside a historic church! The entrance fees to the museum are paying for the restoration of the ceiling in the church. To house the musuem, they built a room inside the church to create a climate controled environment.

More pictures from inside the church

Pretty church!

Part of a park in the middle of the city-it had great views overlooking the city.
