Itinerary
Km 0,7 / Elevation change + 6
Continuing along the main road, you enter Almese: in this originally Roman settlement, a Villa has been discovered in Rivera, one of the most important Latin residential buildings in Piedmont. Of great historical interest along the way is the Ricetto (medieval fort) of San Mauro dating back to the 14th century. Built to defend the existing monastery, it incorporated part of its structures: the bell-tower was transformed into a tower while the main body of the building became the keep for the new castle, surrounded by two outer walls and used as the Ricetto.
