Short but steep walk up, rewarded with a fantastic view of the Piedmonts. May not be worth a long drive, but if you’re in the area.

Reachable on foot through a small road (Via al Castello) directly from Torriglia. Or continuing the provincial road, on the left in Colomba, the road will take you to the castle meadows where you can safely park your car and then continue on foot. Now only the ruins of the castle remain, but despite this, it is very impressive and you have a splendid view of Torriglia. Around the castle there are meadows where it is possible to have picnics.

Very nice castle, too bad that in this pandemic period it was closed and it was not possible to access inside. I parked in the parking lot of the football field and from there it took me 5/10 minutes at most on foot. The route is not very demanding, it is uphill but doable. the view of Torriglia below is also very nice.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
