Sorli Castle is a ruined castle that dates back to the 12th century. It is located in the Sorli hamlet near Garbagna in the municipality of Borghetto di Borbera, in the province of Alessandria, at a height of 661 meters.

Absolutely fascinating place half an hour by foot from the road. Not suitable for children due to the presence of precipices. A few more explanatory signs would not hurt, but with the resources of a small municipality it is already a lot that there are a couple of them ...

You can get there with a fairly simple and well-marked path, which from the village crosses a small wood (wonderful in autumn). Today the very high fog made it impossible to see the valley below, but the ruins of the castle are really impressive.

Beautiful viewpoint in the woods between the Val Borbera and the Tortona hills

Bomarsund

Bomarsund fortress and garrison was built in 1832-1854 by Russian Empire to defence Åland Islands against enemies. British and French fleet attacked against it during the Crimean War in 1854. After a week of fighting the British stormed the remaining fort. Anglo-French forces destroyed it totally after battle. In the Treaty of Paris 1856, the entire Åland Islands were demilitarized, which is a status that has been preserved until this day.

Nowadays there are some ruins left and fortress area is open for visitors.
