The Ricetto of Candelo is one of the best-preserved medieval fortified villages in Europe and one of the most precious gems in the Biella area. Built in the 14th century as a refuge and place of defence for the farming community, it still retains its mighty walls, towers and charming cobbled alleys. Strolling through the “rues” (streets), you can breathe in an atmosphere suspended in time, where the ancient stone houses tell stories of work and solidarity.
Today, the Ricetto is a lively centre that hosts cultural events, historical re-enactments, exhibitions and food and wine tastings, attracting visitors from all over Italy and beyond. Listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”, it offers an authentic glimpse into the Middle Ages, combining historical charm with contemporary hospitality.
