The setting around Domodossola is an Alpine valley shaped by the Toce River, and it has influenced both the town’s form and its local economy. In northern Piedmont’s Ossola region, routes from several valleys converge here before continuing towards Switzerland through the Simplon corridor. The compact historic centre gathers around the arcaded Piazza Mercato, long associated with commerce, while the UNESCO-listed Sacro Monte Calvario occupies a wooded slope above town. Domodossola is also an important railway interchange on the Italian-Swiss route through the Simplon Tunnel.
