ピシーナの洞窟・トップ6

Tiny hamlet, but with some points of interest: the remains of the medieval castle, and the church of Santa Barbara. Maybe it's not worth going there on purpose, but since it's easy to find yourself passing by, it's worth paying a little attention and enjoying what it offers. Water point (fountain) in front of the church (closed in the winter season).

Sanctuary of ancient history, but recently rebuilt (early 1900s). Next to it, the remains of the castle of Garzigliana, unfortunately unsafe and therefore not open to visitors, but visible only from the outside. Note of color: the remains of the castle were used in the past by the pupils of the Pinerolo riding school as a training ground. The place is very pleasant, and worth a visit. It is located on the provincial road from Pinerolo to Cavour, which is very busy: luckily you can get very close (from Garzigliana) avoiding the busiest roads.

Remains of the Marsaglia castle, incorporated into a farmhouse. In its vicinity, in 1693, a battle was fought (known as the "Battle of Marsaglia") which cost the lives of 12,000 people. A plaque with a poem, installed in 1993 (300th anniversary of the battle), commemorates the event.

Built in 1300, subsequently remodeled several times, completely restored in the 1980s. Privately owned, it houses conference rooms and wedding venues. Even if it cannot be visited inside, it is still worth a detour to see it from the outside.

Superb panoramic stretch of the road between Piossasco and Pinerolo, with a view of Mount San Giorgio and the castle.
