Not very big, but nice building. There was a market on the square.

The Basilica is really magnificent from the outside, its stone construction gives it all its beauty. A little disappointed with the interior, smaller than expected and there was nothing special to see. Monument to visit if you go to Acqui Terme.

The basilica is the oldest monument of the city, of Romanesque origin only the beautiful octagonal bell tower remains which is a rare example in Piedmont.

Ancient paleochristian cemetery basilica and seat of episcopal burials, it became a Benedictine monastery by the will of the Acquese bishop Dudone, at the beginning of the 11th century. To see inside the fresco, datable to the mid-fifteenth century, depicting the Pietà with the bishops San Maggiorino and San Tito on the sides, two canvases with The crowning of thorns and Jesus in front of Pilate, datable to the seventeenth century. The wooden statue of Our Lady of Sorrows was donated by Mons. Gozzani, bishop of Acqui, when at the beginning of the XVIII century he divided the abbey into two churches, one of which was dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows.
