A hamlet that takes its name from the (ruin of) castle that dominates it. It is an ancient palace in ruins, with a very Gothic-Romantic appearance, surrounded by the farmhouses that make up the actual hamlet. Arriving from the provincial road from Isolabella to Poirino you are greeted by a Romanesque church, also in a state of partial abandonment (but still intact in its structure), and with a small cemetery in the apse area. The whole thing has the appearance of a Gothic novel, and only a few ghosts are missing to complete the sensation (assuming that they are truly missing...). It is located a little away from the main roads, but you can get there comfortably both from the hamlet of Torre Valgorrera, and directly from Poirino via gravel paths on compact dirt roads in good condition. It is definitely worth a visit.
