Varallo Sesia
Vercelli · Italy
Dominated by the Sacro Monte di Varallo — one of the major Catholic pilgrimage sites in Piedmont — this compact town in Valsesia sits along the Sesia river, divided into an old and new quarter by the Mastallone stream. Its heritage-dense centre carries an unusual concentration of churches for its size, and the surrounding mountain country offers multiple scenic viewpoints. In 1971, the town received the Golden Medal for Military Valor for its resistance against German occupation in World War II.
