Risalendo la Valle Maira si incontra il paese di Cartignano, antico borgo feudale che si adagia lungo le rive del torrente Maira.
Un ponte in pietra, con caratteristica cappella votiva, collega la città bassa da quella alta.
Il nucleo più antico si stringe intorno ai resti del Castello dei Berardi che dall'alto domina ancora la valle.
Going up the Maira Valley, a stop in Cartignano
Going up the Maira Valley you come into the town of Cartignano, an ancient feudal village that lies along the banks of the Maira stream.
A stone bridge, with a characteristic votive chapel, connects the low city to the high one.
The oldest nucleus tightens around the remains of the Berardi Castle which still dominates the valley from above.
