Chiasso Description
Chiasso (239 m/784ft; pop. 8,850) developed into an important center for trade and transport due to its strategic location. First mentioned in 1127 Chiasso gained independence in 1416. Surrounded by hills it has long been a transit town, its status as a customs-point contributing to its economic growth. The Palast Züst (1906 by C. Brambilla) and the 18th C. Neo-classical Camponovo Palast (formerly Matti) are worth visiting.
