モリーニ・ディ・トリオラの洞窟・トップ4

16世紀から17世紀にかけて築かれた城。 四角形の城には、1階の角に4つの見張り台と監視塔が備わっています。 防御用の堀に囲まれ、元の跳ね橋は石段に置き換えられました。 粘板岩のポータルには次のように刻まれています。 「NEC SILENTIO TRANSEUNDA」：合言葉を知らなければ、誰も邸宅に入ることはできませんでした。 扉の向こうには、城の最も古い領主の一人であるアラーモ家のメダリオン、紋章、肖像画で飾られた前室が開けています。 宮殿のすべての部屋は、何世紀にもわたってほぼそのままの形で保存されています。 特筆すべき空間としては、聖レオナルド・ディ・ポルト・マウリツィオが滞在した部屋や、古い牢獄が挙げられます。 城の地下には、ピガート種ブドウの「Metodo Classico」Deperiが眠っています。 城の麓にはオルメアスコのブドウ畑が植えられており、この品種は1200年代後半にマルケージによってレッツォに歴史的に導入されました。 この建物は、今日でもリグーリア地方における宮殿型要塞の最も重要な例の一つを表しています。

MTB descent from Prelà Castello to Molini di Prelà, all on a well-maintained mule track but with frequent curves. Excellent for MTB, very fun, never too steep. Some difficult passages.

ancient castle of the Doria, placed to guard the road of fortification towards the Via del Sale that passed from Prelà Castello. Destroyed by the Spanish and never rebuilt. It was paired with the Maro castle of which only a few stones remain. It was recently purchased by a foreigner who began the restoration with the intent of rebuilding it as it was. The works, however, have been stopped for a few years. Currently the castle has at least been cleaned and made safe.

This trait Brevisismo has recently been redone as it once was, that is, with stones positioned cut and stuck together, without concrete. The result is one of the few occasions to see how the mule tracks used to be, when they were still well maintained, without weeds and years of neglect. In addition, from here you can take excellent photos of the town, the castle and towards Vasia PS: you can go down on foot, gravel or MTB

The village of Prela is now reduced to a few houses, a row of buildings almost entirely restored by foreign owners who understood the value of the country years ago. The houses are compressed between the ruins of the ancient castle and the church of SS. Giacomo and Nicolò, which closes the village downstream. This place took its name from the "petralata" that is the large stone on which the feudal lords had built the fortress several times destroyed and rebuilt. The castle, placed to guard the via Marenca, which connects with the via del Sale, was demolished after the last Genoese reconquest. Antonio Doria in 1340 destroyed the castle of Prela Soprana from the very foundations; the castle itself was later rebuilt further down on the rocky spur, where the remains of the four semicircular towers can still be seen today. The massive construction with huge irregular stone blocks, a wall and a contiguous tower, have some slits in the upper part and traces of internal stairs for the disengagement of the various floors and environments. The external tower was connected to the castle; according to popular tradition, the various "colombere" or watchtowers located in the surroundings were also connected by means of tunnels. Since the early 2000s it has been owned by a German private individual who is taking care of its restoration. The church at the end of the village, recently restored, stands on a mass of overlapping rocks segregated from each other so as to leave interstices and underground caves, which, pushing under the floor of the church, form a kind of impracticable and deep underground, within where until 1845 the dead were laid, through a hole in the center of the floor of the main nave. Inside there are decorations, stuccoes and a complete organ from around 1700. The church is the matrix of all the others in the valley (i.e. the one that first generated all the other churches, making new copies of the original sacred scriptures)
