Archeological location of Mount RocceRè
A spritual and mysterious place that is fascinating for its morphology and views. Walking through its engraved rocks and outcroppings of white quartz crystal move you 4000 years back. In an area embraced by lush vegetation you can see the Boulder Altar, on which there is the most important incision of the site, the Roccias Fenestre , the Throne of the King and the Cave of Balmascura.

Abbey of San Costanzo Al Monte
It is one of the most ancient and most important monuments of the Province of Cuneo.
The construction of the building goes back to differente eras. The foundation year of a first church in stone, the one to the East, together with the subjacent crypt, was about 1190.
The most important characteristic of San Costanzo al Monte is the fact that the crypt has the same plan view as the church above.
