The castle built on a 13th century fortification - is accessed via a steep climb starting from the small square where the ancient municipal building with loggia stood. Enfeoffed to the Doria family between the 14th and 16th centuries, the castle saw the succession of many families: Da Passano, Pallavicino, Serra, Spinola and Orsini Pio di Savoia. The guise in which it appears today dates back to the 18th century, when it was adapted by the Serra family into an elegant country residence. The castle, owned by the Doria family of Montaldeo since the beginning of the 19th century, has a complex structure in which the original structures survive, vestiges of previous use: the apparatus protruding on double brackets, the battlements and the configuration of the keep. One of the towers, which became an artist's studio in the last century and overlooks the surrounding landscape with large windows, offers a priceless view that sweeps over the Alpine chain, from Monviso to Monte Rosa, and over the Apennines, up to the Piacenza mountains

The castle of Lerma dates back in its fundamental structures to the end of the 15th century when the construction was carried out by Luca Spinola. The imposing castle building stands on a tufaceous rock overlooking the Piota river and preserves the ancient "ricetto" intact within the city walls, the first nucleus of the village which took the name of l'Herma.

The castle of Novi Ligure is located near the historic center of Novi Ligure and was for centuries the extreme northern border of the Republic of Genoa. It is part of the "Open Castles" circuit of Lower Piedmont. Only the tower and some sections of the surrounding walls remain of the castle, which today delimit part of the large park. It was crowned by a Ghibelline battlement which has been lost but is still perceptible, despite the current covering with a tile roof.

The imposing building, which retains a structure with corner towers, has richly furnished interiors and interesting collections of ancient weapons. Even the foundations, built with abundance, enclose labyrinthine underground passages that lead to the prisons. The building is known in the area for the legendary presence of a ghost and as a place which, way back in 1528, saw the killing of the despotic Alessandrian feudal lord Cristoforo Trotti and his family.

The castle is owned by Count Cesare Giriodi Panissera di Monastero. The construction of the manor dates back to the second half of the 1300s and acquired value in the following centuries due to its strategic position: the town was in fact located on the borders of the Republic of Genoa, with the Savoy State and the various Lombard duchies.
