About
The Castle of Fossano, built as a defence structure by Philip I of Acaia between 1324 and 1332, was later transformed by the Savoy family in a stately castle. The XVI century loggias host the city library, with more than 150,000 books and an historical archive – with old books, collections and documents – of about 10,000 texts. In the inner court yard and in the ground floor hall cultural activities, meetings, exhibitions and concerts take place. The view of the Monviso and the Alpine chain from the panoramic tower is unique. Il Castello di Fossano è visitabile esclusivamente con visite guidate dal mercoledì alla domenica, con partenza tour la mattina alle ore 11 e il pomeriggio alle ore 15. Consigliata la prenotazione.
