Ricetto di Candelo is a remarkably well-preserved medieval fortified village located in the province of Biella, Italy. Dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries, this historical site was originally constructed as a fortified storage and refuge for the local population during times of conflict. The complex features narrow cobblestone streets, sturdy stone houses, and defensive walls that have retained their original medieval character. The Ricetto is a quintessential example of medieval architecture and urban planning, and it offers visitors a unique glimpse into the past, with many of its structures still standing in their original form.
