Castello reale di Casotto

Located on the slopes of Bric Mindino, in the heart of the Ligurian Alps, in a silent valley at an altitude of 1,090 metres, the Royal Castle of Casotto was founded in the 11th century by Carthusian friars. Over the centuries it underwent various hardships that modified its structure, the current appearance is that of the rebuilding carried out between the 16th and 17th centuries.

In the 19th century the building was purchased by the royal house of Savoy and transformed into a royal hunting lodge.
