Tortona was completely leveled by the emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1155, although the Roman ruins located on the city's outskirt survived. After its destruction, Tortona was rebuilt with a monumental cathedral, and impressive Renaissance-era Palazzo, and the Bishop's Palace, which has a noteworthy Renaissance portal. The cathedral is of particular interest, as it houses the relics of several Saints and has an ominous crypt with the tombs of several notable religious figures from the Middle Ages who resided in Tortona.
