The castle of Rivara, an important seat of the Cenacle of painters of the Rivara school, is located 30 kilometers from Turin in the Canavese valleys. It is made up of three distinct buildings: the medieval castle, the neo-baroque villa and the stables, surrounded by a park of over 45,000 square metres. Inside, numerous ateliers and rooms regularly host Italian and foreign artists. The multifunctional exhibition space is 2,530 square meters, and the artistic direction was entrusted to Franz Paludetto from 1985 to 2023, the year of his death.

Small fortified village belonging to the Municipality of San Carlo. Noteworthy is the church of Santa Maria Maddalena and the small castle, the latter built for defensive purposes. The first information about this small village dates back to the year 1000.

Castle born, as often happens, for defensive purposes in the thirteenth century and belonged to the Biandrate family for centuries. At the moment, after being converted into a country residence, it is owned by the Municipality and houses its offices.

Built in the 14th century by Martino di San Martino, lord of Rivarolo and Agliè. The castle was the scene of clashes between the family that owned it and the Valperga family. It is surrounded by a large park and today, owned by the Municipality of Rivarolo, it hosts numerous cultural events
