Came here to spend a few hours, to see the and the other sights and some walk. The whole small medieval is a sight for itself. We parked down in the village and walk the hill up to the castle. Beautiful buildings and architecture all the way up. And on top of course the castle, the tower and many other sights. As well as a small park with some nice views. The dates back to the 8th Century, but it believed to be even older. The itself (the "Borgo") was build in 1342, while the nearby church "Santa Maria Assunta" dates back to the 11th Century. Then there's the Palazzo del Podestà and the Bell tower and other notable buildings up there in the area. It was also the filming location of "Ladyhawke" starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. We came here on a sunday, there were some visitors, but we expected a lot more, free parking available down in the village as well. A really wonderful old visiting. We didn't expect much, since we really didn't know much about the place, but were really impressed by this beautiful town. Very, very beautiful! If you like the medieval age, this place is for you! Stunning hilltop nestled in a medieval Italian borgo. The entry fee is minimal and the photos you can take alone are the price. The history is also quite interesting. the trip. Well a visit to this medieval castle, beautiful buildings and view Absolutely charming! Lots of cute little cafes and restaurants to enjoy. We spend a few hours here, super relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, food, and hospitality! Full of bourgeoisie with expensive cars who live in the castle. But beautiful view from the and also museum of Italian history and culture. This area is a visit there are plenty of bars in the village one shop we found at the top of the hill there is a free art gallery. Churches of course and 2 museums , archaeological and the there is a joint ticket entry for 7 euros the climb up To the top of the tower provided a stunning view,the rest less interesting It was a great opportunity to visit what still stands of an old castle. Tons of stairs to get to the top. Not a real lot to see. But glad I did it. Not for anyone with issues with heights. I was lucky to do this when no one else was in the building. If you are pressed for time may be just checking out the instead. Quite and very authentic medieval town. With local food and super views. Here starts Apenino so many possibilities to trekking. Good place to try piacentino cuisine, specific for Emilia Romagnia Medieval atmosphere, newly renovated houses, nice places to sit in. It is to visit.
