モネジーリオの洞窟・トップ5

Gorzegno's history is well-known from the early Middle Ages, and in the following centuries it became intertwined with the Del Carretto marquises. Direct evidence of this is the presence of the ruined castle, a symbolic monument of the town, clearly visible from the road that runs alongside it and dominating this part of the valley. The castle's initial construction phase dates back to around the 12th century, corresponding to the building's current perimeter and featuring a gate tower and a residential keep.

Located in the center of Sale San Giovanni, it was built to defend the city in the distant 900 to oppose the offensives of the Saracens. Today a part of the castle is used as a venue for exhibitions, concerts, events and receptions.

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)
