Domodossola (Piedmont)

Domodossola is a city in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, in the region of Piedmont, northern Italy. It is situated at the confluence of the Bogna and Toce Rivers. The major attraction of Domodossola is the Sacro Monte del Calvario (Calvary), built in 1657 by Capuchin monks, and designated UNESCO World Heritage site in 2003. The complex, built in Baroque style, comprises twelve chapels illustrating the Passion of Christ, and lies within the Special Nature Reserve of the Sacro Monte of Domodossola along with the medieval Mattarella Castle, of which only the walls remain visible. The castle was destroyed in 1415 by Swiss soldiers to conquer the Ossola and seize it from the Duchy of Milan. Other attractions are the Civic Museum of the Simplon, the Collegiate Church and the Teatro Galletti.
