Osasco

Osasco: the charm of the towers and the “Portassa”

Nestled in a fertile plain, Osasco is dominated by the silhouette of its castle and preserves important medieval remains.

The best of Osasco

• The Castle of the Counts of Cacherano: a square-plan structure with four corner towers that evolved from a defensive fortress into a noble residence between the 17th and 18th centuries.
• The Portassa: a true icon of the town, it is the ancient northern gateway and the best-preserved example of the defensive system that protected the village.
• The wider heritage: the area is home to votive pillars, the old market wing and the monument ‘To the Worker of the World’, donated by the twin town of Osasco in Brazil.
