THE CASTLES OF ROVASENDA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Symbol of the village, the Rovasenda Castle<\/mark><\/strong> built in 1170 stands in the centre of the village in a slightly elevated position. The fortified complex, remodelled several times over the centuries, features an enchanting 48 m high tower (built in 1459), which is among the most fascinating and best preserved in the Vercelli area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When visiting Rovasenda, you can see that, a few hundred metres from the old castle, there is a second one, built with similar features to the previous one. Constructed in the early 20th century by the famous architect from Turin, Carlo Nigra, the new Rovasenda castle was strongly desired by Count Luigi di Rovasenda<\/mark><\/strong> who, not having been able to inherit the original manor house, decided to build one for himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE ROVASENDA BARAGGIA <\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A striking African savannah-like landscape, seemingly boundless and framed by the imposing Alpine chain. The Baragge Nature Reserve <\/strong><\/a>is made up of six portions of land in the Vercelli area between Rovasenda, Roasio, Gattinara and Lenta. The Baraggia landscape is striking for its simplicity and balance of spaces and forms, for its borderless appearance that stretches endlessly. The most spectacular views are seen in early autumn when the golden colour of the grass is alternated with the typical pink patches of heather<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
