羨むの洞窟・トップ7

Going to Castellar without passing by the castle is impossible 🤪

Built in the 13th century as a military outpost, Manta Castle was transformed in the 15th century by Valerano, regent of the Marquisate of Saluzzo, into a sumptuous family residence. The Baronial Hall was decorated with unique frescoes on the culture of chivalry, including the Fountain of Youth and figures of heroes and heroines of antiquity. In the 16th century, the complex underwent further modifications, including the Salone delle Grottesche, decorated in Mannerist style. Next to the castle, don't miss the church with frescoes on the Passion of Christ and the panoramic park on the Varaita valley.

Church that can be visited with the Manta Castle ticket. Inside there are some very valuable paintings. It is a property preserved thanks to the FAI. In the photo some more information about the church.

Visit with satisfaction the temporary photographic exhibition of the Franco-American photographer Elliott Erwitt. It lasts until February 23, 2025.

Attention!! The climb up the cobblestones to the private entrance of the castle is pedestrian only and does not appear to be permitted for bicycles.

Barge is a town that is usually crossed without stopping. Instead, it's worth getting into it and turning it all around (it doesn't even take long). Among the points of interest: the church of San Giovanni, the castle, via Carle with its arcades.

Castile former prison, panoramic views of Saluzzo. Suggestive.

Grand tour of the marquisate, not too demanding
