Arquata Scrivia

Arquata Scrivia occupies the lower valley of the Scrivia River in southern Piedmont, beneath the approaches to the Ligurian Apennines. The town has long stood on routes between the Po Plain and the Ligurian coast, a position reflected in the medieval castle above its older quarters. Its surviving walls and tower recall the defensive importance once attached to this corridor. Arquata is also close to the archaeological site of Libarna, the remains of a Roman town along the ancient Via Postumia. Rail and road routes still link the area with Alessandria and Genoa.
