The town sits on a small rock, nestled on the right bank of the Belbo River, 555 meters above sea level. It is one of the most important hazelnut-producing centers.

Magnificent view beyond the sanctuary to the mountains

The sculpture where many bikers immortalize themselves

In a splendid panoramic location, built of Langa stone, it is notable for the Baroque-style decoration of its brick façade. The building's design is attributed to Francesco Gallo, who worked in the Cuneo and Mondovì areas in the first half of the 18th century. The interior retains no decoration. The altar is noteworthy, the last vestige of the pre-existing building. This is evidenced by the fresco depicting the Madonna enthroned breastfeeding the Child, with Saint George, patron saint of Niella Belbo, at her side, dating to the late 15th century.

A small rest area with a nice granite table and bench, additional seating, and a screen playing a looping video of the beauty of the Langhe. Trees provide shade. A stunning view of the hills is in front. A lovely place for a break.

The parish church of Montezemolo, located a little outside the town center, on the road to Alba, enjoys a picturesque setting, nestled between the road and the woods, and offers a beautiful view.

A small village, but an important road junction: here, the Panoramica delle Langhe (from Montezemolo to Alba) and the provincial road from Ceva to Altare and Savona meet. At the intersection (roundabout), a bar is very popular with motorcyclists and cyclists. Inside, on the Panoramica road, are several ancient buildings, including, somewhat hidden, the Town Hall and the chapel next to it. The village deserves some attention.

A small park centered around a giant bench and a heart-shaped sculpture. Picnic tables and a recently built café with restrooms are available. Unfortunately, there's no water fountain, but given the location, that's understandable. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills.
