ROCCASPAVERA

The township of Roccasparvera, situated to the entrance of the Stura valley, guard again today, the aspect of a medieval borough hung to ruins of the castle of Bolleris.
The township of which one knows the certain existence since 1028 was the object of biting quarrels, at less during two centuries, between the marquis of Saluzzo, marquis of Montferrato, the Angevinis, the Viscontis and the Savoie, until the moment where, in 1356 troops of Franceschino Bolleris, count of Salmour, seized the Rock.

The borough is characterised by the presence of ancient traditional and typical dwellings of the place, with walls in stone and roofs of lauzes, pushed to banks of the Stura stream, and, also by certain testimonies of the ancient historic center.
In the central streets, one recovers the fountain, the washer (that carries the date of 1796) and the church Saint Antoine Abbé (of the XIIe century) whose recent restoration put in light the ancient frescos of the facade.
