Formerly governed by the Doria family, Isolabona was built in a strategic position and is defended by a castle with square-shaped keep.

Further along the road through the valley is the late-Medieval sanctuary of Nostra Signora delle Grazie, before which stands a classical-style pronaos, decorated with a wealth of frescoes by Giovanni Cambiaso (1527-1585). Not far from here is the church of San Giovanni Battista where one can see a depiction of the Baptism of Christ by an unknown fifteenth century artist.

The castle, now restored to its original splendour, is the setting for important artistic and cultural events during the Summer.
