Casale Monferrato

Located on the right bank of the Po River, Casale Monferrato extends across the Piedmont region at an elevation of 116 meters above sea level.

The city evolved from a Roman municipium to become the capital of the House of Palaiologos in the 15th century before passing to Gonzaga control in 1536.

The Sant'Evasio Cathedral, founded in 742 and rebuilt in the 12th century, contains the relics of Saint Evasius and displays Romanesque architectural elements.

The city maintains direct road connections to Turin, situated 60 kilometers to the west, making it accessible for regional exploration and day trips.

The synagogue from 1595, located on Vicolo Olper, represents one of the finest examples of Jewish religious architecture in Europe.
