Panoramic position in the municipality of Prarostino. Monument to the fallen

Prarostino is a small hilly municipality in the lower Val Pellice, overlooking the Pinerolo plain and surrounded by woods, orchards and ancient villages. Its territory preserves a strong memory of the Resistance, with numerous memorial stones and tombstones that tell its story. Prarostino is an interesting crossroads for mixed terrain itineraries, alternating paths, dirt roads and asphalted stretches.

The Prarostino Freedom Lighthouse is the town's iconic monument, located in a panoramic position overlooking the Pellice Valley. Inaugurated on June 18, 1967, it was commissioned by the population and local administrators to commemorate the 600 partisans who fell in the 51 municipalities of the Pinerolo valleys during the War of Liberation. Designed by architects Roberto Gabetti and Aimaro Isola, the monument is a 15-meter-high rough stone lattice tower, topped by a lighthouse whose light is visible from afar. Every year, at the end of June, the municipality organizes a commemorative ceremony in memory of the fallen and the values of the Resistance. Just before the lighthouse, on the other side of the square, there is an e-bike charging station.

The tower and lighthouse located near the center of Prarostino, is of recent construction (1967) and was erected in memory of 600 partisans killed by neo-fascism. You can climb to the top of the balcony to admire the splendid panorama, even if the passage in the steps is a bit narrow, but protected by a railing.
