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.

A truly magnificent view! In the distance, your gaze wanders over the snow-capped peaks of the Ligurian Alps, rising majestically against the horizon. It's a unique sight, unique only to Liguria: the majestic mountains blend with the gentle coastline, creating a panorama of rare beauty.

Magnificent

Bike path along the river. It's a bit of a roller coaster ride but the view is magnificent and you're far from the traffic. Lots of places to rest.

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!
