Buriasco: Castle History and Cycling

Buriasco for planning your trip

Buriasco brings together two specific themes: its castle, documented since 1351, and its place on the Basso Pinerolese Ciclostrade circuit. Cultural history and cycling thus offer different starting points for planning your trip. There is also a route from Turin via the A55, the Piscina exit and the SP139. This gives you historical, active and practical perspectives on Buriasco before you choose a hotel for your stay.

Buriasco Castle

Buriasco Castle has been documented since 1351 and still stands today. Its rooms include a chapel, a prison in the tower, a gallery, a courtyard well and a large cellar. This variety connects the castle’s historical context with specific features of its layout: the prison is in the tower, and the well is in the courtyard. The chapel is a sacred space, while the gallery and cellar add to the different areas of the complex. The reference to 1351 is a historical point in time, not necessarily a construction date. If you are interested in Buriasco’s history, both this historical context and the rooms offer different ways to explore the castle as a travel theme.

Cycling on the Ciclostrade

Buriasco is part of the Basso Pinerolese Ciclostrade circuit. This gives you a specific starting point for planning a cycling trip. Since it is a circuit, the route as a whole is part of your planning. Check the route on site before setting off, so you can plan your ride around its course. Cycling and the castle appeal to different interests: the Ciclostrade focus on the circuit, while the castle offers its history and varied spaces. You can consider whether cycling or castle history will play a greater role in your stay, or treat both as separate highlights.

Getting there from Turin

From Turin, take the A55 motorway towards Pinerolo to the Piscina exit. Then continue along the SP139 for about 10 km to Buriasco. This is an approximate distance and refers to the stretch after the exit, not the entire journey from Turin. This allows you to distinguish between the motorway section and the subsequent stretch on the SP139 when planning your trip. Check road conditions before setting off. This guidance applies to travel from Turin; if you are starting elsewhere, plan a route that matches your actual starting point.

Find a hotel in Buriasco

First consider whether castle history or the cycling circuit is more important to your trip. Then compare the details of individual hotel listings with your needs, such as hotel type, location, rooms and services. The features of the area can help you assess Buriasco as a destination; when comparing a specific stay, rely on the details provided for each listing. This way, your search moves from your interest in the area to choosing a hotel that suits your own needs.
