At the top of the hill above the town of Varallo stands Sacro Monte, an artistic-religious complex consisting of 45 chapels and a church, populated with frescoes and sculptures which tell the story of the Life of Christ.
Realised between the end of the 15th and the 18th centuries by the major artists of Piedmont and Lombardy of the period: Gaudenzio Ferrari, Morazzone, Tanzio of Varallo, Giovanni d’Enrico, Dionigi Bussola.
Sacro Monte is also a beautiful example of park gardens, organised according to the model of the Italian garden, with hedges, paths and wooded areas, but also of the ideal town with its two historical squares.
