Castel San Giovanni

A Spanish fortress on the Becchignolo

Castel San Giovanni was built by the Spanish in the 17th century and is characterised by impressive pincer walls: from its terraces there is a wonderful view of Finalborgo, the surrounding valleys and the sea. It fits perfectly into the hillside above the town and it can be reached with a five-minute walk along the ancient Beretta road.

Castel San Giovanni rises along the ridge that dominated the town of Finalborgo, between the Pora and Aquila valleys. It was built in the first forty years of the 1600s around a pentagonal medieval tower. Following the Lombard engineer Francesco Prestinos project the complex is part of the Spanish fortifications built to defend the Finale marquisate and were constructed during the Spanish dominion on the territory.

The fortress belongs to the Ligurian museum complex and is managed by the historic centre of Finale that organises the openings and the visits.

Forte San Giovanni is a seat for events and exhibitions. It has free entry and it is possible to have guided tours on specific occasions and on request.

TRAIL BUILDING PROJECT

HOW DO WE TAKE CARE OF THE MTB TRAILS IN THE FINALE OUTDOOR REGION

Sustainable outdoor tourism means putting the territory first.

Finale Ligure and the Finale Outdoor Region are world-famous for their incredible MTB trails, but there is something that makes this place pretty unique: the Finale area is not a bike park!

The territory where hundreds of kilometres of MTB trails develop is vast; everyone can access the trails freely. So how do we ensure that the passage of so many riders does not irreversibly damage this invaluable heritage, resulting from years of work of many passionate people? Planning day-to-day maintenance work on the trail network is necessary for this amazing treasure to continue. The only way we can meet the territory needs and continue to offer you all some of the most enjoyable MTB trails in the world is by efficiently organizing the trail-building works.

Resources are crucial if we are to achieve our goal. You can contribute to our project by supporting the work of the Trail Builders and all the professionals and volunteers who work to maintain and enhance our wonderful territory. How?

You already have the For You Card, right? If you want to help some more, for each euro you donate, you will receive 100 extra points on your Card and contribute to 1 meter of trail maintenance!

But you can also buy a t-shirt, a water bottle, a mug or a beach towel from our merchandise collection: a souvenir of your holiday but also a concrete help for the region!

Thanks to the FOR YOU CARD, with the support of Bosch, we can perform trail maintenance in the Finale Outdoor Region with utmost confidence. Our top priorities are ensuring bikers' safety and protecting the environment.
