チェルヴァスカの洞窟・トップ7

I passed by on Friday, September 5, 2025, and the entrance to the castle grounds was closed by a gate. I don't know if it's open to visitors on holidays. However, I bypassed it from the lower part.

Stunning building: former neo-Gothic spinning mill with turrets, perfectly restored. It houses a cultural foundation. It is very beautiful to see from a distance, but it is located at a fairly busy roundabout - viewing from a distance requires taking some risks. However, once you reach the center of the roundabout, it works as a life preserver, and you can have fun taking photos.

I recommend an easy tour, especially for children. Also go down into the tunnel, next to it there is a red mushroom, when you press it the lights turn on 👌👍

Remains of an ancient castle, reachable by paths and positioned above the town of Roccasparvera

Porta Bolleris, or Boulera, is what remains of the majesty of the medieval village of Roccasparvera. Right under its arch, for centuries, goods and people have passed to and from nearby France. Of the Castle now nothing remains, destroyed by time and by countless border wars.

Roccasparvera, above it there is what remains of the castle, look for it, there is a beautiful view

Roccasparvera has been an important lookout at the entrance to the valley for centuries. In medieval times, its village included four fortresses with high walls with watchtowers and a bridge that allowed entry to the town. Traces of these structures remain in the Porta Bolleris or Bourela, an ancient tower built in the 15th century through which goods and men passed to and from France and which was occasionally used as a residence for the Bolleris family, from which the tower takes its name. The gate extends just outside the walls of the town in the direction of the upper valley. Next to the ruins of this ancient fortification, there is a dense network of underground tunnels that opened escape routes and water supplies in the event of a siege or danger. Some paths lead to the ruins where the stone walls have been cleaned, allowing us to reconstruct the plan and imagine what they looked like.
