The Torre Ratti castle is located in the hamlet of Torre Ratti in the municipality of Borghetto di Borbera, in the lower part of the Borbera valley, in the province of Alessandria. The lower Borbera valley was part of the Duchy of Milan for centuries and was enfeoffed by the Rati-Opizzoni family from Tortona.

The Castle of Torre Ratti, as cited in a document from 1413, was officially born with the concession as a fiefdom and the oath of loyalty made by the inhabitants of Borghetto di Borbera. In 1629, the square tower was added to the main structure and some internal changes were made. Subsequently, however, was the expansion carried out between the two towers and the construction of the rooms on the north side. The current appearance of the castle suggests that of a rich fortified residence, with late Renaissance and Baroque architectural features. An interesting Italian garden surrounds the architectural complex.

You can walk on the creek bed most of the year, and it gives you a different perspective of the valley. This place in particular is a nice place to stop and observe the surroundings. From here, there are also trails that walk up the shore, and there's a picnic area very close by.

Among the rolling hills of Val Borbera, there is a real corner of peace. The Shrine of the Child of Prague is located on top of a hill near Castel de' Ratti. It's easily accessible and a fantastic place to relax in the middle of the woods. A picnic here is a great idea!
