Pascoso: Historic Center, Gardens and Mountain Paths

Historic Center and Garden Spaces

Pascoso combines a historic center with garden spaces and surroundings shaped by mountains. The historic center consists of two settlements. The area between them is occupied by a system of gardens; a footpath connects the two settlements. Anyone exploring the center on foot can use the connecting path as a practical point of orientation between the two settlements.

Church with a Long Building History

The church of Santa Maria Assunta is part of the history of the town. It dates from the 17th century and was expanded in the 19th century. Those interested in culture can explore Santa Maria Assunta in Pascoso.
