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

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
