The ruins of a medieval feudal castle occupy the hill of Folchi above Tovo San Giacomo, offering a fine vantage point over the Maremola valley and down toward the Ligurian coast. The walls and towers are in various states of collapse but the setting is atmospheric, especially in the slanted light of late afternoon.
The climb up from the village takes about twenty minutes on a rough path. There is no formal entrance or admission — the site is simply there, overgrown and open. Bring sturdy shoes and watch your footing among the stones.
