Pian della Cavalla in Parco dell’Antola

Pian della Cavalla is a scenic high plateau in the municipality of Gorreto. It is located in Parco Naturale Regionale dell’Antola and is known for the spectacular blooming of daffodils and other spring flowers. The bloom defines the seasonal character of the high plateau and adds a distinctive natural aspect to the circular route.

Fishing on the Trebbia and the Torrente Gorreto

The tourist fishing zone “La riva di Ernest Hemingway sul Trebbia” is located in the municipalities of Gorreto and Rovegno. It extends from the turn-off to Rovegno at the cable crossing at kilometre 50 of the SS45 to the “lake” below the weir in the municipality of Gorreto, at the Enel cable crossing. In addition, anglers can fly-fish in the Gorreto fishing reserve on the Torrente Gorreto.

Fortified town centre and historic buildings

The construction of Palazzo Centurione and the adjoining buildings along its façade created a planned fortified town centre considered unique throughout the Val Trebbia. From above, Gorreto’s historic fortified settlement structure, with a watchtower and several entrance gates, is still visible. Palazzo Centurione Scotto is now an abandoned 17th-century building with a black-and-white striped façade typical of Liguria. The palazzo was once the centre of the administrative and economic life of the town centre. Palazzo Centurione is privately owned.

The Chiesa di Santo Stefano is also part of the town’s history. It is located in the cemetery area of Fontanarossa within Gorreto and is open during the day.
