One of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Diano Castello was the only fortified village in the valley and four gates opened in its walls. The visit can begin from the paved Via Meloria, dedicated to the famous naval battle of 1284 which consecrated the supremacy of Genoa on the Tyrrhenian Sea and in which the inhabitants of Diano distinguished themselves. There is still a painting in front of the church.
