Participating in this tour means immersing yourself in a unique atmosphere, surrounded by ancient walls, imposing towers, and tales that transport you back in time.
Built in 1358 by Conte Amedeo VI di Savoia, known as the Green Count, it still retains its appearance as a defensive fortress today.

Every corner offers picturesque views and spectacular panoramas of the city of Ivrea and the Serra Morenica, making this the perfect experience for those who love the history, culture, and beauty of Piemonte.
An engaging tour designed for those who wish to experience Ivrea from a different perspective, letting themselves be guided through history, architecture, and timeless charm.
