Castelvecchio Castle in Rocca Barbena dominates the medieval village of the same name, perched on a rocky spur in the Savona hinterland. A former stronghold of the Del Carretto marquises, it was built for military and defensive purposes, and its strategic location made it the fulcrum of feudal power over the valley below. Today, the imposing manor is reduced to a fascinating ruin, its ruins revealing centuries of history. Although no longer intact, the atmosphere surrounding it is highly evocative. Its crumbling walls and towers have become the symbol of the village, a true testament to its glorious past.

Adjacent to the route, historical settlement

It's true, we're talking about cycle tourism here... but it's worth spending some time visiting this beautiful village, or even just stopping to take a look, the view is superb! I rode the road downhill, but even uphill it must be a wonderful experience, given the slopes you encounter, never excessive and regular. The only flaw, the road in the valley, at least up to the detour to Castelvecchio, is always quite busy, even with heavy vehicles, so you need to be careful... even downhill!

Beautiful very charming place.

The Italian municipality with (approx.) 150 inhabitants is located at an altitude of 420 meters above sea level in the province of Savona (Liguria) The special charm and characteristics of the brightly painted houses are immediately apparent when cycling 🚴‍♂️ & hiking 🥾 through the city on! I can recommend the view (including from the serpentine road) of the Castello dei Clavesana!

Great setting, this castle and village was the location for the film Inkheart

Very worth seeing, medieval place with arcades

Beautiful place from the 16th century
