Casale Monferrato combines an arcaded historic centre with its place in Piedmont’s wine country in a way that reflects its position between the Po River plain and the Monferrato hills. Once the capital of the Marquisate of Montferrat, the town retains a compact centre shaped by centuries of civic and religious life. The Romanesque Cathedral of Sant’Evasio is its principal landmark, while the Casale Monferrato Synagogue, founded in 1595, testifies to the area’s long-established Jewish community. The surrounding Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont, including Monferrato, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
