보비아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 동굴

Whether you choose to climb from the parking lot below the castle (moderate difficulty, about 40 minutes on a well-marked path, steps, and a walkway) or follow the "Castellani's Path" from Vobbia (about two hours, including stops), the arrival near the castle is breathtaking! Spectacular, simply! This view is worth the effort (by car) to reach the tiny village of Vobbia, which, however, is located in an area rich in natural beauty!

Montoggio is a village in the Genoese hinterland, nestled among the woods and hills of the upper Bisagno Valley. It's located about thirty kilometers from Genoa, but the atmosphere is completely different: the landscape here is made up of tranquil valleys, clear streams, and small clusters of houses scattered among meadows and chestnut groves. Dominating the village from above are the ruins of the Fieschi Castle, which controlled the valley in the Middle Ages and was the scene of clashes between ancient Ligurian noble families, leaving behind an aura of history that blends harmoniously with the tranquility of the surrounding nature.

Castle with a turret and it is the element that immediately stands out. Perfectly renovated together with the surrounding mansions, it is a distinctive feature. American families who choose Borlasca for its tranquility and seek privacy often spend the summer there. But the trait d'union is evident, because it is a piece, the most recent, of a well-known story. On the website of the Isola del Cantone Cultural Center it is said that Giorgio Ruggerone wrote a book about Borlasca, published posthumously. The chapter on emigrants is of particular interest for obtaining some information on the castle with the turret: it is owned by the family of Angelo Sangiacomo, son of Domenico, a successful Californian entrepreneur.

Nice observation point over the castle and one of the towers where you could once climb. Great for a souvenir photo. you must not suffer from vertigo, exposed sides and a small climb to the top must be done with care and suitable shoes.

Absolutely worth visiting, perhaps taking the longer, but simpler, Via dei Castellani from Vobbia. The castle, unique in its kind, is very well renovated and the guides explain the history beautifully.

Savignone, located in the Antola Regional Natural Park, boasts places of historical interest such as Palazzo Fieschi and Castello Fieschi, and offers hiking routes on the Maggio, Suia and Pianetto mountains.

The Castello della Pietra, an example of Ligurian defensive architecture, towers over the Vobbia gorge. Property of the della Pietra family until 1518, today it is offered to visitors restored, with interiors rich in history, hosting cultural events.
