Triora is known as "the town of witches" for a trial held in 1588 and ended with the conviction for witchcraft, a group of local women who, gathered at night time instead distance away (the Cabotina), were considered guilty of impending famine. What is memory in the local ethnographic museum and witchcraft for the fortune of stores and shops of local artisans, exhibiting strange-dolls and selling witches' liquor and the witch's snail milk, well-thought-of brandy concoctions and herbs.
The medieval town is a small jewel of art, steep, rough, built without a hitch, intact in its defense system of gates, arches, narrow houses and fortress.
The collegiate grand Assumption (XVI century), restored in 1800 with neo-classical style, which contains a painting of Thomas Bartolo da Siena, 1379, and some of the boards of the fifteenth century. The Oratory of St. John the Baptist (1694), a statue by Maragliano and a painting by Luca Cambiaso. Remain some of the old castle ruins in cylindrical tower (XII century)
