Gambasca is a municipality with 341 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019) in the Italian province of Cuneo (CN), Piedmont region , about 55 km south of Turin .
geography
The place is at the end of the Valle Po , a few kilometers before the mountain valley in the Po Valley opens. The Po, which has its source in the Cottian Alps, flows past around 1 km northeast of the village and begins to deposit its gravel load in the now around 500 m wide valley floor .
Strada Statale 662 (SS 622 or "Via Valle Po") runs through the valley - here on the northern bank of the river near the neighboring town of Rifreddo - which leads to the western mountains or east via Saluzzo to Turin.
The municipality is slightly inclined at 450–500 m above sea level and has an area of 5 km².
The position of the village allows a wonderful view of the peak of Monviso (Monte Viso) and the end of the valley (Paesana) when the view is unobstructed and clear.
In the opposite direction, it allows a view of the vast, large plain - the pianura. (Po plain)
The neighboring municipalities of Gambasca are Brossasco , Martiniana Po , Revello , Rifreddo and Sanfront .
Attractions
The parish church of San Sebastiano is worth seeing. It stands on older walls and was expanded in 1735 in the Piedmontese Baroque .
