The Bastion of Ceriale
A splendid town where every kind of visitors can be satisfied: those who love culture can visit the bastion situated in the main piazza of Ceriale (Piazza della Vittoria). It's a military building of 1564 and it was built in order to defent the place against the pirates' attacks; actually, neither the bastion nor the tower situated behind the church were able to contrast the incursions. No wonder if there's not any attestations of the age before 1637, when the town was invaded by barbaric pirates who set on fires in the place and deported part of the population. These events are celebrated every year during the first week of July; the Saracen pirates' attacks followed by a historical procession, in order to remember the local hostages' rensom. One of the several tourist itineraries that visitors cannot miss. This is a building offered by the splendid town of Savona.
