Tips from the Community
Beautiful village, cut off by the ring road but perfect to visit by bike. The main church has a huge fresco on the facade, and beautiful Gothic terracotta details. Next door, the Confraternita del Gonfalone is also interesting. Here and there, other points of interest: frescoes, smaller chapels, alleys and stairways, the portico of the old market (with a Ventennio inscription and a plaque to the Fallen), medieval gates. Absolutely worth visiting.

It is the highest of the three castles of Costigliole. Private, it is not visitable, but the view from the outside is nevertheless worthwhile.

Beautiful medieval village, perched around the fortifications that overlook it (the various castles), and the church of Santa Maria Maddalena. Very beautiful are the narrow streets that climb towards the top, and the bridge that allows access to the castle area.

From the bridge over the Varaita, entering Costigliole from the Saluzzo/Piasco side, you get a beautiful overview of the upper part of the town with its churches and castles (remember that there are as many as three castles in Costigliole Saluzzo).

Church dedicated to Santa Maria degli Angeli in the historic center of Manta. A neoclassical building with a façade decorated with pilasters and niches containing statues of saints. Very interesting. -- [Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (Manta)]
