Strada Santa Lucia

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice route both on foot and by bike, very few cars. Being a little high up, you can also have beautiful views of the Monviso.

On clear autumn days, it suddenly appears climbing from Grinzano immediately after the amphitheater of the Soul with the inevitable Monviso as its background. Simple and wonderful place. Not to be missed if you pass by these parts.

Amphitheater of the Soul

Highlight • Monument

In Località Grinzano, Via Salita Mina in Cervere, in a plot of land surrounded by the Cuneo Alpine crown, the Amphitheater of the Soul has taken shape, a place that leaves room for what most profoundly inspires us, represented by a mask created by the Saluzzo artist Germana Eucalipto. It dominates, in silence, from its seven meter height, the stalls built on the grassy slope, with small terraces sloping down to the body of water that separates the audience from the stage.

Monfalcone Tower

Highlight • Castle

From the website of the municipality of Cervere:

Remnant of the ancient castle, the tower (33 m high), symbol of Cervere reproduced in the municipal coat of arms, with a quadrangular plan is connected to a much larger structure preserved only at the level of the foundations.
This is a fortified tower with double walls and large living rooms. Following the devastation that occurred in past centuries, today the tower and a few ruins at its base remain intact and mighty.
The upper part retains the decorative terracotta elements made up of rhombuses and fake arches arranged in several superimposed rows. On the southwest side there is a semicircular jutting turret that has the same ornamental motif.
The "Castello di Cervere" is mentioned for the first time in the deed drawn up on 05/03/984 in which Manfredo, son of the Marquis of Turin Arduino il Glabro, donated "the castle and the place of Cervaria ......" to the lineage of Robaldo, the lords of Sarmatorio, Manzano and Monfalcone.
There are many vicissitudes that involved the castle and its tower also due to the strategic importance it has played in different eras.
Demolished in 1274, it was rebuilt by the Municipality of Cherasco in 1310;
In the 16th century the castle was demolished again and only the tower survives.
In 1929 the tower and the site of the castle were donated to the Municipality of Cervere by the last owners.
The tower is currently being consolidated and restored and an exhibition room set up in a room adjacent to the building itself and within the archaeological site.
