The village is situated on a hill overlooking the Belbo Valley. As you can see from the name, Rocchetta was born as a military garrison and of it remains the tower and part of the walls surrounding it. The village, due to its border position, belonged first to the Marquisato Aleramico, then in 1347 it passed to the Municipality of Genoa, which enfeoffed it to Enrico del Carretto.
