The remains of a Roman settlement from the 2nd century CE, brought to light by excavations in the late 1800s are still visible today near Albisola Superiore railway station. Studies have located in the Albisola Superiore area the Alba Docilia stopover or resting area marked on the Tabula Peutingeriana, a roadmap of the Roman Empire drawn up probably between the 3rd and 4th century CE for military purpose.
