Lagnasco combines nature, cultural events and remarkable sacred architecture. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Lagnasco, you can use this mix as a common thread for planning your trip and combine active pursuits with garden- and culture-related activities.

Orchards and Fruttinfiore

More than 1,500 hectares of land in the municipality of Lagnasco are currently cultivated as orchards. This setting includes Fruttinfiore, which takes place in Lagnasco every year on the first weekend of April. The event continues to hold regional recognition as the “Mostra – Mercato Nazionale di Frutticoltura”.

Fruttinfiore also includes the non-competitive running event Cursa ‘d Pumalin, which leads from Piazzale Asprofrut to the courtyard of the Castelli di Lagnasco. It also includes the Sunday morning Camminata tra i frutteti in fiore, a walk through Lagnasco’s blossoming orchards from Piazzale Asprofrut to Piazza Umberto 1°. For your planning, it is helpful to distinguish between the running event and the walk.

Gardens, herbs and nature experiences

The Giardino delle Essenze in Lagnasco comprises a botanical garden and is an educational farm open to the public. Aromatic herbs are grown there, and educational and tourist activities are also developed. In this way, the site brings together botanical content, herb cultivation and educational offerings accessible to the public.

Churches and architectural heritage

The Chiesa Parrocchiale in Lagnasco was built between 1715 and 1720 based on a design by Giovanni Antonio Sevalle, architect to the House of Savoy. The Chiesa della Confraternita del Santissimo Crocifisso is the town’s oldest church and is more than 500 years old. Guided visiting times for the Castelli di Lagnasco are scheduled for 10:00, 11:30, 15:00 and 16:30. Thus, Lagnasco brings together an 18th-century building, a more than 500-year-old church and the Castelli as another cultural destination.
