The hamlet of Sant'Alosio is located upstream of the municipality of Castellania Coppi. The group of houses, separated by narrow alleys, is dominated by the two characteristic towers that rise on the summit esplanade, where the ancient manor, now disappeared, once stood (some tracts of the walls remain).

The towers, with a square plan, were originally more than 20 m high but were (unfortunately) lowered during the restoration work in 1948, for consolidation purposes. They are built in carefully squared local stone and probably date back to the 13th century. From here you can enjoy a 360 ° view of the surrounding valleys and hills.

The latest recent restoration interventions have further consolidated the structure, as well as restoring the access stairway and the surrounding area.

Pay attention to the downhill path that returns to the dirt road connecting Castellania and Monte San Vito: steep and with a crumbly surface, it is not so easy to control the mountain bike. For those who are impractical, it is advisable to return along the access staircase in reverse.
