Tips
At the top of Mount San Lorenzo this fortress was built in 1187 by decision of the Municipality of Vercelli in agreement with Bishop Alberto, owner of the territory. The castle was built in about three years, and the municipal statutes required that it be inhabited by the castellan with the whole family and with a small permanent garrison.

The Castle of San Lorenzo owes its name to the church of San Lorenzo which was located inside the walls of the Castle. The castle is 504 m above sea level, overlooking the valley where the Sesia flows and you can enjoy an exceptional 360 degree view.
