Built in the 13th century as a military outpost, Manta Castle was transformed in the 15th century by Valerano, regent of the Marquisate of Saluzzo, into a sumptuous family residence. The Baronial Hall was decorated with unique frescoes on the culture of chivalry, including the Fountain of Youth and figures of heroes and heroines of antiquity. In the 16th century, the complex underwent further modifications, including the Salone delle Grottesche, decorated in Mannerist style. Next to the castle, don't miss the church with frescoes on the Passion of Christ and the panoramic park on the Varaita valley.

Saluzzo, the ancient capital of the Marquisate, is a medieval Piedmontese village located at the foot of Monviso. Its historic center fascinates with cobbled streets, suggestive squares, narrow stairways, ancient churches and elegant noble palaces with well-kept gardens. The city offers a lively cultural scene, with events, concerts, exhibitions, cinema, theater and festivals that enliven the local calendar. Furthermore, Saluzzo is renowned for its food and wine tradition, with numerous restaurants where you can taste the typical recipes of the local cuisine, famous for the "Slow Food" movement. A visit to Saluzzo allows you to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of times gone by, discovering the beauty and authenticity of this corner of Piedmont.
