A Hidden Corner of Baraggia

Highlight • Religious Site

The road from Battiana to Ratina is a pleasant surprise! Tranquility amidst farmhouses and some still-intact stretches of Baraggia.

Castelletto Cervo Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Castle of Castelletto Cervo is also known as "Castello del Guado". It is located in a strategic position and dates back to the 13th century. It was built overlooking the Cervo to monitor the ford and to control the ancient road that rose from the Vercelli area towards eastern Biella.

Not many years ago what remained standing of the Castelletto Cervo manor seemed destined to slowly fall into ruin. The structure which throughout its history had housed the Counts of Canavese, those of San Martino, the Liatta, the Alciati and the Nomis, had long been abandoned.

Then suddenly the fortunes changed and a change of ownership allowed new life to the castle. There have been numerous restorations to which it has been subjected, both over the centuries and in recent years; this does not mean that it does not mean that the distinctive characteristics of the fortification can be understood.

It was first opened to the public as a museum of ancient weapons and today it houses a collection of three-dimensional images (anaglyphs) from the early twentieth century.

There are many medieval remains but also traces of the transformation into a noble residence without military characteristics which took place in the Baroque era.

In the courtyard it is possible to notice a long disused well from which, during its unblocking, interesting ceramic fragments emerged, now exposed inside.

A shelter was attached to the castle of which no trace remains.

The origins of Guado are ancient. We cannot say for sure that it was in the same position as today, but it was certainly already present in the 12th century as the point where the ancient road that rose from the Vercelli area towards eastern Biella crossed the Cervo
