Castello di Manta

I recommend a visit to the outdoor garden, the church below and its surroundings. Very cute and impressive. FAI castle subject to openings.

Built in the 13th century as a military outpost, Manta Castle was transformed in the 15th century by Valerano, regent of the Marquisate of Saluzzo, into a sumptuous family residence. The Baronial Hall was decorated with unique frescoes on the culture of chivalry, including the Fountain of Youth and figures of heroes and heroines of antiquity. In the 16th century, the complex underwent further modifications, including the Salone delle Grottesche, decorated in Mannerist style. Next to the castle, don't miss the church with frescoes on the Passion of Christ and the panoramic park on the Varaita valley.

beautiful hills, a mixture of dirt roads and secondary asphalts, views over the castle
