The castle of Monterosso rises on the hill that separates the ancient village from the newest Fegina. The primitive construction of the Obertenghi family were strengthened and widened by Genoa. Today the ruins of the walls, three circular towers and a square tower are encompassed in the cemetery. The defensive system of Monterosso comprehended also a tower in the village, today the belfry of the church of Saint John the Baptist and another tower situated on the rocks in front of the sea, still existing, the Tower Aurora.
