The historic center reflects the original Sancti Damiani Oppidum, the new villa built in 1275-1276 by the Genoese Oberto Spinola, then Captain of the People of Asti, as a Roman military camp. It has the typical orthogonal grid centered on the Contrada Maestra (now Via Roma), intersected at regular intervals by ten smaller districts, and closed on four sides by the walls (which are preserved almost intact on the eastern side) with as many defensive embankments (the current Magenta, Solferino, Montebello and Palestro bastions, which have become tree-lined avenues with lime and plane trees), towers and a castle.
