The Castle of Carrù is an ancient fortress located in the city of Carrù, in the province of Cuneo. Dating back to the 12th century, the castle was built to defend the city from enemy attacks and has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. In addition to its history, Castello di Carrù is also famous for the legend of the Blue Lady, a ghost who is said to still appear in the castle today. The castle is open to the public and can be visited during some Carruccesi events, such as the Grape Festival, and the surrounding area offers various activities, including excursions on foot and by bicycle, visits to wine cellars and tastings of local products.

The castle of the Princes of Acaja is a historic building in Fossano, in the province of Cuneo; stands out majestically in the homonymous square of the town, characterizing the urban landscape. Symbol of the city, it was built in the center of the ancient village of Fossano, in a panoramic and well defensible position, at the behest of Philip I of Savoy-Achaia. Its construction began in 1324 [1] and already eight years later, in 1332, the basic structures were completed. Hundreds of workers worked on its construction; 3,355,000 bricks, 26,000 tiles, 19,861 stone carts were needed. It houses the Historical Archive (with ancient documents dating back to the thirteenth century) and has now become a civic library. In June it serves as the setting for the historic Palio dei Borghi and Giostra dell'Oca. It is included in the "Open Castles" circuit of Lower Piedmont.
