カルマニョーラの洞窟・トップ20

Beautiful castle/fortress, in fair condition, to be admired from all positions (the view from the motorway overpass is very beautiful).

Castle in the town center, known for its tulip display in spring 🌷

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.

More properly "Castello de La Rotta". A twelfth-century castle, later remodeled, now private and used as a residence. It is visible from the outside, and makes a great impression. From the highway overpass you have a fantastic view. In theory the road to get there is private, but I think that the access ban is mainly for cars - while I was under the castle admiring it, two cars of residents of the village just beyond passed by, and no one said anything to me. Easily reachable from Carignano on roads with little traffic, it is a little more daunting to get there from the east, because you have to go through the provincial Moncalieri-Villastellone which is quite busy.

Casaforte / castle in a hamlet half-hidden between secondary roads and dirt roads. You have to go there almost on purpose, but it is worth the trip: the castle between the hills and the fields has a fairytale feel, and the houses that surround it, rightly "piled up", give a sense of the Middle Ages. A time machine. Also interesting is the chapel in front of it, closed but well restored on the outside. The castle cannot be visited inside (private), but even just from the outside it is beautiful. However, it is possible to enter the internal courtyard and see the yard and the well, which are wonderful - at least I think you can go in: I went in and no one let the dogs loose on me.
