Tips

The Tower, on a hill overlooking the valley, is a symbol of Arquata. It is 22 meters high and was built in Montaldero stone. It was once part of the castle, of which some ruins remain of the mighty walls that descended from the hill and surrounded the old village. The Castle of Arquata had considerable strategic importance and was disputed between Genoa and Tortona. It is not very well maintained, but still worth a visit, and can be admired even from the center of the small town.
