サヴォーナの洞窟・トップ20

The castle rises majestically above Finalborgo. It's a somewhat arduous hike up, but the view(s) are worth it. The castle appears to be undergoing renovations, so you can't walk directly over it—but it will be interesting to see what the ruins will become in the future.

Castelvecchio Castle in Rocca Barbena dominates the medieval village of the same name, perched on a rocky spur in the Savona hinterland. A former stronghold of the Del Carretto marquises, it was built for military and defensive purposes, and its strategic location made it the fulcrum of feudal power over the valley below. Today, the imposing manor is reduced to a fascinating ruin, its ruins revealing centuries of history. Although no longer intact, the atmosphere surrounding it is highly evocative. Its crumbling walls and towers have become the symbol of the village, a true testament to its glorious past.

Zuccarello was founded by the Clavesana family in 1248, who made the castle above it the feudal centre of the valley; it was then taken over by the Del Carretto family and, in 1625, by the Republic of Genoa.

beautiful house

charming place not to be missed

Savona - at times at odds with Genoa and many centuries later part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Interesting history! The port and the castle are still impressive and important

Nice ride. Easy and well marked route. Challenging descents with uneven ground and some technical passages.

It is located a few hundred meters from the Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi
