Places of Interest

The Pinerolese Area Militarized City, defence at the heart of a network of Fortilis surrounding ridges, Pinerolo has been for centuries a land of contention and a frontier between France and Piedmont. Iron is the element that marked this territory in the modern age: at first, the iron of cannons that shake the earth at the passage of armies conquering the city defined by Richelieu in 1630 “the door of Italy”; secondly the Iron mask, that a few decades after, a mysterious prisoner wore at the French gate. The Pinerolese has been a militarized area for long time, and then it became a land of freedom. After the Revolution and the Napoleonic campaigns in Piedmont, Pinerolo became the driving force of new ideas of freedom that were spreading throughout Europe. To visit: The Fenestrelle Fort, for its size and its development throughout the left flank of the valley, this fortress is also called “Great Piedmont Wall”; SCOPRIMINIERA E SCOPRIALPI The Ecomuseum of Mines and Germanasca Valley, located about 70 km west of Turin; Waldensian Cultural Center Foundation: the long history of the Waldensian movement left museums, places, buildings, which highlight its historical, cultural and religious aspects. Miradolo Castle, a wonderful example of neo-Gothic residence, surrounded by a beautiful historic park of over six hectares, rich in exotic specimens and centenarians trees.
