Cairo Montenotte is located almost at the head of the Bormida Valley, the starting point for reaching Lake Osiglia, the Melogno hill and, continuing towards Savona, the Cadibona hill. It is a beautiful town with a well-preserved historic center, dominated by a castle. By bike, if you continue towards Savona, it is advisable to cross the city center, to avoid getting stuck in the tunnel of the main road.

Ruins of Murialdo Castle easily accessible to all. Just below are the remains of the fortified village. Close by is the church of Santa Maria Maddalena and the sword in the stone (attraction for the little ones).

Unfortunately, very little remains standing

Cairo Montenotte is a Ligurian municipality in the province of Savona. It was called only "Cairo" until 1863 - with the Risorgimento underway - when "Montenotte" was added in honor of the Battle of Montenotte, fought in April 1796.

The tower with a quadrangular shaft dates back to the thirteenth century, still related to the ruins of the castle of Camerana, located in the hamlet of Villa on the Bormida valley. Despite being the place already mentioned in a diploma of 967 in favor of the bishopric of Savona, the historic building is first attested, as "castrum Camairana", in the uncertain document of 1142, concerning the hereditary division between the sons of the aleramic marquis Bonifacio del Vast. The construction of the keep and the restructuring of the castle complex is probably due to the marquises of Monferrato, for whom the castrum cameranese is included in deeds of 1216 and 1233. The high tower, although cut off at the top, is made of stone cut. (from www.turris.it)

Easy ascent that leads from Cosseria village to the paths and also to the Castle of Cosseria. Beautiful view from up there.
