Sassello
The rich past, lived above all between the 1600s and
1700s thanks to iron working, is
preserved even today in this town
on the northern side of the
Ligurian Apennines: many
buildings preserve the rustic stone
walls or are covered by decorated
plaster and along the intricate
paths of the rich streets the shops
are concentrated.
Why it received the “Orange
flag”, seal of tourism and environmental quality
It is precisely among the magnificent forests of
Sassello that the idea for the “Bandiera arancione” seal
was born upon the proposal of the town councillors
and the Association “Friends of Sassello”. The first
winner of the seal of tourism and environmental
quality, Sassello is appreciated in a particular way for
its ability to valorise its natural, cultural, historical,
artistic and religious resources for tourism.
What not to miss
The paths of the Beigua Regional Natural Park,
rich of flora and fauna. The delicious amaretti,
famous throughout the world, and the mushrooms.
The Perrando Museum, with archaeological finds,
ceramics and remarkable paintings of the territory.
