Cairo Montenotte is located almost at the head of the Bormida Valley, the starting point for reaching Lake Osiglia, the Melogno hill and, continuing towards Savona, the Cadibona hill. It is a beautiful town with a well-preserved historic center, dominated by a castle. By bike, if you continue towards Savona, it is advisable to cross the city center, to avoid getting stuck in the tunnel of the main road.

Cairo Montenotte is a Ligurian municipality in the province of Savona. It was called only "Cairo" until 1863 - with the Risorgimento underway - when "Montenotte" was added in honor of the Battle of Montenotte, fought in April 1796.

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)
