Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena
Liguria
Castelvecchio's slate-roofed houses spiral up a spur below the jagged Rocca Barbena and the ruined Clavesana castle. A short climb from the village reaches the castle walls and a view over the wooded Val Neva; the lanes below, all arches and stairs, invite a slow wander.
