Alessandria falls to France with Napoleon's success…

1800 CE

Alessandria falls to France with Napoleon's success at the Battle of Marengo and becomes the capital of the Napoleonic Département of Marengo.

During this period another substantial fort will be built to the north of the city containing impressive and substantial barracks which will still be used as a military headquarters and stores in the twenty-first century.

The remains of a second fort to the south of the city (Cristo quarter) have been sliced in two by a railway (Forte ferrovia); a third one still remains in the middle of the same quarter (Forte Acqui).
