Novalesa
Novalesa Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 726 and strategically positioned to control the Via Francigena, anchors this modest Piedmontese hamlet near the French border. The abbey's parish church forms part of the Museum of Alpine Religious Art, and the village sits at the foot of the Moncenisio pass in the Val Cenischia, with waterfalls fed by streams from Rocciamelone mountain nearby.
