The hill on which it stands, called Monte Regale, gives its name to its inhabitants, the Monregalesi, and, with its gentle slopes facing the Langhe and the nearby Alps, it offers breathtaking views.<\/p>\n<p>The characteristic of this town is its multi-level structure: the ancient and charming Piazza district is at the top, while Breo is at the foot of the hill, on the River Ellero plain. To make it easier to get from the lower to the upper town, a funicular railway was built at the end of the nineteenth century and has now been completely renovated. Its large windows allow visitors to enjoy a unique view of the Ligurian Alps and the Langhe during their ride up.<\/p>\n<p>A town with an ancient artisan vocation, Mondov\u00ec experienced an economic boom between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with the birth of numerous manufacturing activities, especially textiles and ceramics, and the arrival of the railway. Signs of its splendour and prosperity are still visible today in the wealth of artistic elements you will see as you walk through the medieval alleyways of the old town centre. Among the many masterpieces, the Church of the Mission is noteworthy, a jewel of Baroque architecture inside which the magnificent frescoes on the false dome stand out, enhanced by the Infinitum project which, provides visitors with a 3D viewer that allows them to travel among the frescoes in a spectacular play of perspectives (see the section on the \u201cFocus Barocco\u201d ebook).<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a microclimate that is particularly favourable for hot-air balloon flight, Mondov\u00ec is also the capital of this pastime and it is not unusual to see them suspended in the sky\u2014an exciting sight for young and old alike.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1318887166\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\"
