Today Cairo Monenotte is the largest town in the Langa Savonese with 13,000 inhabitants. The local dialect is closer to Piedmontese than Ligurian. Napoleon defeated the Austrians here on 12 April 1796, during his Italian campaign and the remains of the trenches can still be seen. A medieval touch 24 Cairo’s history can be read in the remains of its fourteenth-century walls, its tower and the ruins of its castle. The Church of San Lorenzo is a national monument, whilst the old residence of the Scarampi Marquises is known as the “Caminata”. On Saint Laurence’s Feast Day (10 August) “Medieval Cairo” is celebrated in the old town.
Cairo Montenotte Bormida di Spigno Valley Underneath the arches… The old town of Cairo is very welcoming and one of the best preserved in the region, with coloured houses, arcades, bars, cafés and many shops with original and elegant painted signs. Infinite woods Murals, birds and stone bridges History is also evident in the hamlets of Carretto (perhaps the original home of the Del Carretto Marquises), with its ruined castle, and Rocchetta, with the “Roman” bridge built by the Alemanni over the River Bormida near the bird reserve and its houses with their many colourful murals. The Riviera dei Teatri Cairo’s Abba Cinema and Theatre (named after the famous local Garibaldian writer) participates in the “Riviera dei Teatri” programme, with an interesting season of plays for townspeople and tourists alike. Horses and photographs The old village of Ferrania boasts an abbey that is almost a thousand years old and much Art Nouveau industrial architecture. The nearby countryside is home to cormorants, which fly up and down the river, and the horses of the Club Ippico La Marcella (riding club). Montenotte’s vast woods are inhabited by roe deer and wild boar and are home to delicious wild mushrooms and centuries-old trees, such as the Faggio alle Traversine beech tree, on the main road, and the 200-year-old beech tree by the Rifugio Alpino Cascina Miera (mountain refuge). The same woods are crossed by the Sentieri Bormida Natura BN (nature trails) and the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. The Rocca dell’Adelasia The Rocca dell’Adelasia Nature Reserve is a 450-hectare protected area in the Montenotte Woods. It is crossed by paths that are ideal for horse riding and mountain biking, amidst mountain streams, wild orchids, Karst caves and Napoleonic trenches.
