CASALE, the capital of the above province, is situated on the right bank of the Po, 38 miles east from Turin. It was anciently a strong fortress, but has been recently (1849) still further strengthened and improved. It is the see of a bishop, and contains a very ancient cathedral. Its churches are possessed of several fine works of art; and that of San Domenico, in which is the tomb of the Paleologi, is remarkable for the elegance of its design. Among its other buildings are an ancient clock-tower, several palaces of the nobility, a college, and a theatre. The courts of justice for the province are held here. The only manufacture is that of silk. The population is rather more than 20,000.
