San Giorgio Monferrato 성의 전망은 Monferrato 언덕의 특징적인 모습을 보여줍니다.

A very impressive church! The special features are the pulpit at the front right and the Romanesque cross, which is said to have come from Alexandria.

Probably one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe

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.

Jewish Synagogue of Casale

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.

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 UNESCO site of the wine-growing landscapes of Langhe, Monferrato and Roero is made up of six areas in the provinces of Alessandria, Asti and Cuneo and twenty-nine municipalities. The areas represent the exceptional quality of the Piedmontese wine-growing landscape and its profound and lively wine culture. The site is characterized by a rich and diversified system of farmhouses, wineries, wine industries, cooperative wineries, public and private wine shops, which in some cases constitute symbolic places for the history and development of national and international viticulture and enology.
