San Costanzo al Monte is a Romanesque-Gothic architecture complex located in an isolated position amongst forests on the slopes of Monte San Bernardo.   Positioned on two levels, with the crypt on the lower and the church on the upper, it features refined stone decoration on the external apses, on the capitals and in the carved decorations.  It is a unique site of its type from which you can enjoy a wonderful view over the Cuneo plain.
