The castle of Moncucco positioned on the top of the hill dominates the surrounding areas opening up to a wide view over the whole Turin hill. It was erected as a result of defensive needs in the Middle Ages, however, the only one to have survived to the present day.

The current appearance of the castle dates back to the 14th-15th centuries, with obvious extensions and changes made in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The building is impressive, enclosed by massive walls and characterized by two towers: the first protruding from one of the sides, the second placed in a central position, connecting the two sleeves of the castle.

The entrance to the inner courtyard is characterized by two narrow arched doors built under a fortified structure and formerly closed by massive wooden doors. The inner courtyard retains an old window with a medieval frame made up of terracotta tiles.

The interiors, largely renovated, house the offices of the Municipality, the Plaster Museum and, on special occasions, public and private events.

The castle of Moncucco, as it appears now, dates back to the 14th-15th centuries.

A large tower protrudes from one of the sides, while a second is placed in the center of the building.

It dominates the town and from it you can admire a magnificent landscape that extends from the hills of Monferrato to the hills of southern Piedmont and Turin, Superga and the Alps.

You can go up, preferably on foot pushing your bike, up to the internal courtyard.
