Monte Spineto, Mountain summit in Province of Alessandria, Italy

Monte Spineto rises 459 meters above sea level at the confluence of Borbera and Scrivia rivers, overlooking the towns of Serravalle Scrivia and Stazzano.

In 1155, residents of Stazzano and Serravalle sought protection on Monte Spineto during Frederick Barbarossa's invasion and built a chapel in gratitude.

The mountain sanctuary, constructed between 1629 and 1633, stands as a testament to local religious traditions following reported miracles during French invasions.

Visitors access Monte Spineto through a winding road from Stazzano, with the route beginning at the Vignole-Arquata Scrivia highway exit and following SP143.

During winter days, Monte Spineto offers views across Pianura Padana toward the Alps, revealing extensive portions of Scrivia and Borbera valleys.

Elevation above the sea: 459 m
