Top 5 Castles around Cerrina Monferrato

The fortress is beautiful and worth a visit (check opening times). There's also a nice path leading down to the right.

Nestled among centuries-old trees, Camino Castle dominates the ancient village from above and contributes to one of the most easily recognizable hilltop profiles of the Lower Monferrato.

Around 1900, the extremely wealthy entrepreneur, financier, art collector and patron Riccardo Gualino (1879–1964) began building a neo-Romanesque-neo-Gothic castle in a commanding position over the town. The architect of the building was the engineer Vittorio Tornielli. In 1918, the Castello di Cereseto became one of the residences of the Turin family, where lavish parties were celebrated with guests from the Piedmontese business and financial world, from the Agnelli to the Sella. The fort was inhabited by the family until the second half of the 20th century and is therefore well preserved.

The church of San Bartolomeo in the small but beautiful center of Rinco, a hamlet of Montiglio Monferrato. Nearby, the castle, the restaurant and the entire town are covered with photos of the residents. Splendid way to enhance a small town.

Nice climb with a nice view.

It looks like a castle straight out of a fairy tale.It is one of the castles of Monferrato with the best preserved external walls. The castle was built in the early twentieth century. Unfortunately, today the interior of the castle cannot be visited, but many people go to the village to see the imposing Cereseto castle from the outside and immortalize its beauty in their photographs.

One of the most spectacular castles in Monferrato and equipped with crenellated walls and towers. As with many ancient buildings in Italy, there are many legends about the castle of Camino. One of the most recurrent narrates that in the year 1494, Count Scarampo Scarampi, feudal lord of the Marquis of Monferrato, was accused of making forays into neighboring villages causing problems such as thefts and fires. After a long siege of the castle, which lasted two months, it was captured by the militias of Costantino Aranite, prefect of Casale. His wife, the Marquise Camilla, managed to escape from a secret passage and reach Casale to ask for a safe conduct for her husband's life. Scarampo Scarampi, however, had already been beheaded by those who had imprisoned him. When she learned of her husband's sad fate, out of desperation, the Marquise Camilla threw herself from the tower. Now, she walks around the battlements of the castle crying, while her husband walks around the manor with his head in his hand. Legend aside, in the inner courtyard of the castle of Camino there is the sarcophagus of the noble Scarampo, depicted at rest holding his head with his left hand.

A very beautiful and suggestive place. On one side the view of the Monferrato and on the other the panorama opens onto the Alps
