The tower with a quadrangular shaft dates back to the thirteenth century, still related to the ruins of the castle of Camerana, located in the hamlet of Villa on the Bormida valley. Despite being the place already mentioned in a diploma of 967 in favor of the bishopric of Savona, the historic building is first attested, as "castrum Camairana", in the uncertain document of 1142, concerning the hereditary division between the sons of the aleramic marquis Bonifacio del Vast. The construction of the keep and the restructuring of the castle complex is probably due to the marquises of Monferrato, for whom the castrum cameranese is included in deeds of 1216 and 1233. The high tower, although cut off at the top, is made of stone cut. (from www.turris.it)

The castle of Nucetto is a medieval architectural structure, of which today a tower is visible surrounded by the few remaining remains of the castle.

The construction of the castle can be traced back to the period between 950 and 1000. Typically medieval construction whose solid grandeur is barely embellished by a massive tower.

As the name suggests, the place on which the village of Saliceto rests in the past was rich in willows; the coat of arms of the municipality also portrays a weeping willow. The Castle of the Marchesi del Carretto is one of the symbols of the town and dates back to the twelfth century.
