Pleiades
A hilltop settlement, with occupation in the Late Bronze Age, then abandoned and built as a fortress during the Byzantine rule of Liguria (mid 6th-mid7th CE). It is slightly inland, probably meant more as a watchtower against military actions from the North, as is the case for Filattiera, further East.
In the Middle Ages a church was built on the hilltop site.
