Discover Salmour: Park, Chapel and History

Salmour combines expansive green spaces, religious sites and traces of feudal history with places where craftsmanship and leisure become visible. A good starting point for getting oriented is Parco Crova: on its 12,000 square metres are centuries-old trees, while views of the Langhe open up at the same time. This is how exploring the area begins in a landscape that closely brings together nature and the character of the town.

Green orientation in Parco Crova

Access to Parco Crova is through a gate; the park is accessible without architectural barriers. Those who pay attention to the form of access when planning can therefore deliberately include this place in their own sightseeing itinerary.

Chapel and religious tradition

The Cappella campestre dedicata a S. Eusebio stands in seclusion at the highest point of the Beinale plateau. It is located to the left of Via Trinità when coming from the direction of Fossano, in an expansive green area. The location combines a clearly identifiable landscape with a religious destination.

Religious services are held throughout the year in the Cappella campestre dedicata a S. Eusebio. Of particular importance is the feast day of Saint Eusebius on 2 August. Travellers interested in religious traditions can therefore identify a specific date within the local annual cycle.

Historical traces in Salmour

The Villa di Salmour is part of the historical perspective. It was attributed to the noble Thesauro family from Fossano, which received the fief of Salmour in 1556. The year marks a specific connection between the family and the history of the town.

The origins of Salmour are also associated with the de Sarmatorio family. Their feudal residence was a castle that has since disappeared. A look at Salmour therefore encompasses both preserved sites and the memory of buildings that no longer exist today.

Craftsmanship, motorsport and diverse interests

The Fiera del Grano Rosso Salmour 2024 added another cultural dimension. At this festival, demonstrations and workshops on traditional crafts were held for children, young people and adults. In this way, the event combines traditional skills with a format that includes several age groups.

The Minimotodromo Alpi Marittime, with a 4,800-metre-long track, is located in the Sant’Antonino district of Salmour. Alongside history, faith and craftsmanship, this venue provides an independent point of interest for visitors interested in motorsport.
