Cherasco, Medieval town in Piedmont, Italy
Located at the meeting point of Tanaro and Stura rivers, Cherasco displays multiple churches, palaces, and towers along its structured grid streets.
Founded in 1243 as a defensive fortress for Alba, Cherasco gained prominence through the 1631 peace treaty between France, Austria, Spain, and Italian states.
The town maintains a tradition of wooden craftsmanship, with numerous workshops producing furniture and decorative items according to regional techniques.
Visitors can access the town through regular bus services from Cuneo and Alba, with parking available near the central historic district.
