Montezemolo

Montezemolo is called the “door to the Langhe”, and in the summer it’s visited by many tourists who want to enjoy its pleasant weather and wonderful views over the Maritime Alps.

The palace in the Villa village was built in the XVIII century with the stones of the ancient castle. The parish church of san Benedetto was built in 1713.
