イソラベラの洞窟・トップ5

Castle in the town center, known for its tulip display in spring 🌷

A hamlet that takes its name from the (ruin of) castle that dominates it. It is an ancient palace in ruins, with a very Gothic-Romantic appearance, surrounded by the farmhouses that make up the actual hamlet. Arriving from the provincial road from Isolabella to Poirino you are greeted by a Romanesque church, also in a state of partial abandonment (but still intact in its structure), and with a small cemetery in the apse area. The whole thing has the appearance of a Gothic novel, and only a few ghosts are missing to complete the sensation (assuming that they are truly missing...). It is located a little away from the main roads, but you can get there comfortably both from the hamlet of Torre Valgorrera, and directly from Poirino via gravel paths on compact dirt roads in good condition. It is definitely worth a visit.

Interesting castle

Fantastic

In the hamlet of San Michele (half of the municipality of Dusino San Michele), a beautiful eighteenth-century church, and a castle, unfortunately private and not open to visitors, but which offers a nice view even from the outside. The church and its churchyard are quite suggestive. To get there you have to leave the provincial road and enter the town, but it's a detour of about a hundred metres, and it's worth it.

Ruins of Valgorrera

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.

Beautiful castle, in a panoramic position, very well preserved. It is private, but in certain periods of the year it can be visited (timetables and details on castellodipralormo.com). The climb is worth it, if only for the view of the plain below and the tour of the old town, which is well worth it.
