At the top of Mount San Lorenzo this fortress was built in 1187 by decision of the Municipality of Vercelli in agreement with Bishop Alberto, owner of the territory. The castle was built in about three years, and the municipal statutes required that it be inhabited by the castellan with the whole family and with a small permanent garrison.

It is a medieval tower that dates back to the 11th century and was part of a fortified system built between the 12th and 13th centuries. The church of S. Giovanni alle Castelle was part of this structure, destroyed in 1950, today replaced by the chapel of the Madonna della Neve, built by the Alpine Section of Gattinara.

Getting to the Castelle towers is easy but at the same time you have to prepare for a nice climb which is paved so it is also possible to get there with a racing bike, pay attention to the slopes which are in double figures even if interspersed with a few moments of breathing space

The place called Torre delle Castelle is a promontory that dominates Gattinara and the entire low plain on one side you can enjoy the view of the Sesia valley and on the other Gattinara you can enjoy an exceptional view of the vineyards and in the background the Biella area on clear days both an exceptional view of Monte Rosa
