Situated on a rocky promontory, the Oramala Castle dominates and overlooks the Staffora valley, one of the most evocative places in the upper Oltrepò.

The passage to the castle of Oramala (11th century) placed on a rocky spur (not visible going up from Varzi unless you get below it), with the small hamlet of the same name is truly a gem.
