Tips
An enchanting medieval village in the Ligurian Riviera di Ponente, perched in the splendid Argentina Valley. It seems that its name derives from the Latin “Tria-Ora”, or “three mouths”, to indicate the three main products of the place: wheat, vine and chestnut. Due to the tragic events that took place between 1587 and 1589, it is still known as "the land of witches".

Town dominating the entire valley. The main town, rich in history, buildings and culture. Must visit with bike in hand. If you have time you can visit the local torture museum that tells the famous episode of persecution of the Inquisition that gives rise to the myth of witches.
