ヴィッラステッローネの洞窟・トップ18

Beautiful castle/fortress, in fair condition, to be admired from all positions (the view from the motorway overpass is very beautiful).

More properly "Castello de La Rotta". A twelfth-century castle, later remodeled, now private and used as a residence. It is visible from the outside, and makes a great impression. From the highway overpass you have a fantastic view. In theory the road to get there is private, but I think that the access ban is mainly for cars - while I was under the castle admiring it, two cars of residents of the village just beyond passed by, and no one said anything to me. Easily reachable from Carignano on roads with little traffic, it is a little more daunting to get there from the east, because you have to go through the provincial Moncalieri-Villastellone which is quite busy.

Casaforte / castle in a hamlet half-hidden between secondary roads and dirt roads. You have to go there almost on purpose, but it is worth the trip: the castle between the hills and the fields has a fairytale feel, and the houses that surround it, rightly "piled up", give a sense of the Middle Ages. A time machine. Also interesting is the chapel in front of it, closed but well restored on the outside. The castle cannot be visited inside (private), but even just from the outside it is beautiful. However, it is possible to enter the internal courtyard and see the yard and the well, which are wonderful - at least I think you can go in: I went in and no one let the dogs loose on me.

Between history and legends of Knights Templar on horseback, a place of historical interest...

Adjacent to Piazza Martiri della Libertà, facing inside the Cavour Park

Beautiful building and beautiful church, in a well-kept historic center. The castle grounds are wonderful - but cannot be accessed by bicycle. In pay, it is possible to go around it on the two cycle/pedestrian paths on the bank of the stream.

Beautiful town, with different points of interest - churches, modern monuments, ancient buildings, the castle, the medieval well... I passed through it for years without ever noticing anything; I went there once by bike calmly, and I fell in love. Great destination for a trip.

The town is almost entirely gathered around the main square, Piazza della Libertà. The Castle (Private, visible only from the outside) and the church of Santa Croce overlook this area, behind which is the Albergo di Santa Croce, now used as a retirement home. The parish church of San Giovanni Battista is not far away, and its apse also overlooks the square. A short distance away, on the perimeter of the castle park, is the church of Sant'Anna (formerly the church of San Martino). On the other hand, going towards the station you will find Palazzo Cerruti, now the Town Hall. The whole country can be visited in a short time, but for this very reason, if you pass by, take advantage of it.
