Embrace Cherasco

Our arrival in Cherasco is announced from afar by heralds who have taken up post on the 18th century arcade arch 'Porta Narzole'. Here we are standing in front of the city gate of the city that General Napoleon Bonaparte immediately fell in love with during his first international campaign. After signing the armistice treaty on April 28, 1796, he (figuratively) bombed this city with the title 'The most beautiful in Italy'. In that spirit of the times, when the Italian kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is defeated by the French armies, today we peacefully discover Napoleon's favorite city.

We are ready, sweet as pie, we triumphantly walk past old-fashioned artisan chocolatiers on the main street. It's literally open day in Cherasco. Chocolate scents fill the arcades on this warm day. We are charmed by the car-free streets (during the weekly market day). The weekly market vendors compete with each other and enthusiastically sell their wares. Unfortunately, due to this economic event we miss some beautiful historic facades, including the Palazzo Salmatoris - former headquarters of Napoleon.

Fortunately, La Torre Civica dominates the city. Undisturbed and uninhibited, we can look up to this status symbol that stands head and shoulders above the hustle and bustle.

Visconti Castle of Castelletto Stura

Highlight • Castle

The Castle of Cherasco is of medieval origin with the typical square towers at the four corners, although the following alterations have made it take on the appearance of an eighteenth-century villa. A suggestive avenue of plane trees can be reached with a walk.
