Today I take you for a tour in a small corner of paradise that is located in the heart of the Alta Langa: Murazzano. With its hills, breathtaking views and cheese that will make your taste buds dance with joy, this small town of not even a thousand inhabitants, is a must for those who love to discover hidden treasures...not to be missed for those looking for an adventure among forests, culture and delicious cuisine.
Murazzano is located in a strategic position and enjoys a spectacular view on the Langhe. Walking through its streets, you will feel like you are on a movie set: the stone houses, the cobbled alleys and the colorful flowers on the balconies will make you fall in love at first sight. Here time seems to have stopped! A perfect destination for those looking for a break from the bustle of the city and want to breathe fresh air and craftsmanship, not surprisingly it was one of the most loved places by Fenoglio. There is no place to be bored here among shrines, mills and elegant churches. In the skyline of the city stands out the majestic Tower of the 1300, the symbol of the country! Climb up to enjoy a unique panorama (with some breath, but it’s worth). What would be a ride without some food stops? You can well imagine that, as in every stage of these landings, here too you eat very well! And speaking of food, we can not mention the absolute protagonist of local tables: Murazzano DOP. This sheep’s milk cheese, with a delicate taste and creamy texture, is perfect to enjoy with a good glass of Dolcetto. But I warn you: it is addictive! Moreover, if you love nature, Murazzano is the right place for you. With a network of hiking trails that wind through the hills of the Langhe, you can immerse yourself in the green and breathe the fresh air of the countryside... and get rid of some of the delights you have tasted!
● Medieval Torre: Walking through the stone streets is impossible not to see it is right in the heart of the village. Climb for a view not to be missed.

Among the most evocative sanctuaries of Piedmont stands out that of the Blessed Virgin of Hal with sumptuous frescoes. In the city centre, the Church of San Lorenzo is a true architectural marvel with paintings and frescoes that tell secular stories.
