Manta castle
(Saluzzo (CN) – Piemonte)

The medieval castle of the Manta is placed in a strategic position, among the hills between Saluzzo and Cuneo.
Dating from the 12th century, it was enlarged and from the beginning of the 1400 it was transformed in a noble residence.

More than by the tower and the gardens, the visitor is astonished by the fresco cycles partially tribute to an anonymous painter called “Maestro del Castello della Manta”.

Two rooms of the annexed church show frescoes dating from the same period of the castle.

A place to be calmly enjoyed, complying the motto of the counts of the Manta "leit leit" (slowly slowly), and so take it easy
