one of the most important Romanesque churches in Piedmont; the facade is from the 19th century in neo-medieval style; inside there is an exceptional atrium and very important works including the medieval wooden crucifix covered with a silver plate, coming from the Cathedral of Alessandria, a war trophy.

Giovanni II Paleologo, Marquis of Monferrato, ordered the current castle to be built and work continued until 1357. When Casale assumed the role of capital of the Margraviate of Monferrato and obtained the title of city in 1474, it also changed castle, seat of the court, after the restoration with the marquises Guglielmo VIII (1464-1483) and Bonifacio V (1483-1494). When Giovanni II Paleologo died, the Gonzaga of Mantova took control of Casale. The castle was strengthened by new military techniques, so the walls and the plan shape were adjusted so that it became hexagonal (which we can still see today). The towers were also strengthened and four new ravelins were added. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the castle returned to its role as the seat of the court. The Dukes of Mantova, who were busy negotiating with Savoia, stayed there. Later it became the principality of Duke Carlo II Gonzaga-Nevers (1637-1665), who holidayed there many times with his entire court, which gave a boost to the cultural life in Casale. Due to the crisis of the Gonzaga dynasty, the castle was on the verge of decline. The city fell to Savoia in 1708 and the castle became a barracks. In the mid-19th century, Casale was fortified in preparation for a war against Austria and the castle became a defensive structure. The eastern ravelin was demolished, creating the current Piazza Castello, which became an open-air market zone. With the unification of Italy, the other three ravelins were also demolished.

The church that gives its name to the square is first mentioned in a document from 1143, while the precise date of construction is unknown. The church is next to the Torre Civica, which does not function as a bell tower, because the real bell tower leans slightly against the building opposite. The church has a majestic facade, enclosed by powerful quadrangular pillars.

Santa Croce was originally a Gothic church, to which a neoclassical facade was added in 1748, designed by the Casalese architect Francesco Ottavio Magnocavallo. Today it is a deconsecrated church whose internal space has been converted into an original setting for shops, restaurants and a bar. The MyCafe is not only a popular stop for an aperitif, but also organizes evenings of music and entertainment. The complex is located on the main pedestrian street in the city center.

The Municipal Administration commissioned the sculptor Abbondio Sangiorgio (Milan 1798-1879) to design an equestrian monument to the Savoy king as tangible thanks for having chosen the city, in 1838, as the seat of the second Court of Appeal of Piedmont and the construction of the first bridge over the Po. The design of the stone base is due to the versatile artist Pelagio Palagi (Bologna 1775-1860).
