The castle of Serralunga d’Alba

The castle of Serralunga d'Alba, in the province of Cuneo, is today considered by many to be one of the best preserved examples of a fourteenth-century noble castle in Piedmont. Slender and majestic, the indelible symbol of this landscape, it dominates one of the most beautiful and intact villages of the Langhe, surrounded by the hills of the great wines. It is considered one of the best preserved examples of a fourteenth-century noble castle in Piedmont, and represents a unique case in Italy for its architectural structure, typical of a French donjon. The castle has undergone very few alterations over time, in fact the building has not undergone serious weapons events and was never transformed into a holiday resort, thus maintaining the structure of a medieval stronghold unaltered. The castle played, more than a military role, a control function of local production activities, as evidenced by its very slender structure, aimed at underlining in this way the prestige of the Falletti family. Inside, some large fireplaces and wooden ceilings are the only remaining evidence of the original furnishings.
