UNESCO World Heritage Site for its landscape assets and for the Barbera and Nizza DOCG wines, it is the most important center of the province and of the Belbo Valley.

In Nizza, it is worth taking a stroll through the streets of the center and stopping to admire the Campanon tower, in the town square, the oldest civic tower in the city, incorporated into the Town Hall.

The historic center is beautiful, full of typical bars and restaurants where you can taste the specialties of “Nicese” and “Piedmontese” cuisine based on Cardo Gobbo, a renowned local product.

There will certainly be the possibility of some amazing tasting of red wine at the Enoteca Regionale di Nizza, located near the splendid Palazzo Crova, an admirable example of an 18th century noble town residence.

At the end of the tour, the more "daring" will be able to reach the Chiesa di Madonna della Neve, better known as "Chiesetta del Bricco di Nizza", one of the highest points in the town.

It can be reached via a very steep climb but the view over the city and the surrounding municipalities is certainly worth the effort.
