Saluzzo

I'm taking you all back up north with a post about the city of Saluzzo, in the province of Cuneo. After staying in Revello, Saluzzo seemed like a big city, even though there are less than 20,000 inhabitants! In terms of attractions, there is not too much, but the city is beautiful nevertheless. Here's a little tour of the city!  

This is the main street in the city, Corso Italia. There are little boutiques and some really beautiful looking cafes. I found this little shop selling fresh pasta and agnolotti, similar to ravioli, with such an appealing display case! Towards the end of the street is the cathedral of Saluzzo. 

The Lombard-Gothic style cathedral was constructed around the turn of the 16th century.  From the church, we decided to walk up a windy cobblestone street to the old medieval city. 

The older part of town has a great atmosphere as the sun starts to set. The streetlights cast a warm glow on the buildings and it feels almost like you are transported back in time. Just looking at the pictures right now is almost enough to make me hop on the next train back!
