Always beautiful to see

The palace is very beautiful and quite large. Years ago I went in the summer to visit the beautiful gardens in the evening.

the storks haven't arrived yet 😉

Monticello d'Alba is a municipality in the Roero area. In the center of the town it is possible to admire a castle of medieval origin and the church of San Porzio. The view of the hills surrounding Monticello d'Alba is wonderful.

Arriving from Ceresole d'Alba and pausing on the panoramic balcony in the Church Square, it is possible to admire the Rocche del Roero, a geological phenomenon of erosion that has given rise to deep canyons.

Small fraction of Sanfrè, which seen from the road gives the impression of a castle or stronghold. Very suggestive.

Savoy palace. Fountain in the square

In a historic center the size of a handkerchief Cavallerleone hosts an incredible density of historic buildings. The splendid Palazzo Balbo Ferrero stands out above all, on the main square. Behind, a short distance away, the remains of the medieval castle: on the one hand it is a pity that it is partially in ruins, on the other this gives it an atmosphere of a gothic novel. Also on the square, the parish church, and a short distance away the seventeenth-century Palazzo Barberi di Branzola, a little shabby but still showing the signs of its ancient splendor. Behind the church you can glimpse the internal balconies of the Carron Ceva building, anonymous on the outside and which gives very little to the view, but that little is really beautiful. In front of one side of the castle, the church of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati; and finally, from the streets of the historic center, here and there you can see the internal decorations of the medieval castle, even the worthy ones. The whole center can be toured in less than a quarter of an hour - it is really tiny - but it deserves to be toured and appreciated. A true unknown gem.
