The town's arms carry a motto that translates as "the same for everyone", and it is there to state the equality of the citizens. Duke Vittorio Amedeo of Savoy granted it by an edict of 1687, and that same year it was handed over in Turin to the community's representatives.
The castle was raised by the Isnardi, bankers from Asti and marquises of Caraglio, between the thirteenth and the eighteenth century. Almost nothing is left of the old building: the Spaniards wrecked it in the middle of the sixteenth century, and what stands now is the lordly house rebuilt afterwards, looking over the Cuneo plain with the Alps behind.
