Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena

You can breathe in the typical atmosphere of a time that no longer exists in Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena, a medieval village perched between the green woods and the blue sky. The village is a maze of narrow streets leading to the heart of the village, the manor castle, once the hub of village life. Narrow, winding alleys, stone houses, fortified dwellings: everything here tells of past centuries, as if time had mysteriously stopped. Not to be missed, while strolling through the village, are the restored old wash houses, the Piazza della Torre where the ancient gallows once stood, the Porta Soprana at the entrance to the village and, next to the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora delle Grazie, the small heart-shaped cemetery.
