Description

The Castello Reale di Casotto, located in the municipality of Garessio, in the province of Cuneo, on the slopes of the Bric Mindino at an altitude of 1,090 metres, was founded in the 11th century as a charterhouse dedicated to Saint Bruno. Over the centuries it suffered several sackings and fires that altered its structure, whose present layout was created between the 16th and 17th centuries. The grey stone façade was built in the middle of the 18th century, to a design by the architect Bernardo Antonio Vittone.
