Castles around Country of Sassari, palaces and mansions

The area around Country of Sassari is rich in castles, towers, and historic houses, a strong testimony of medieval architecture. A dense network of manors spreads out over the whole area, in the plains, on the gentle hill slopes and perched on rocky mountains, surrounded by vineyards, beech and chestnut woods. Built in strategic positions, they dominate the surrounding valleys, often with mighty crenellated walls and lively interior decorations made on frescoed walls to recall the opulence of the local noble families. Many can be visited, still others used as homes, and still others only ruins as evidence of a glorious past. Discover with Visititaly, the fortresses, the villas, the forts, the historic buildings, the noble residences and all the places linked to culture in the surroundings of Country of Sassari.

Olbia - Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello di Pedres Diroccato

The property is located south of Olbia on a hill of just 100 meters, but overlooking the plain in front. It dates back to the beginning of 1300, period of Pisano-Aragonese domination and, more precisely, period of domination of the Visconti family until the 13th century. Little news came in the following periods and towards the end of the century the Castle passed into the hands of the Aragonese, first, and of the Arborensians, then; until it was subsequently abandoned. However, today it appears a point of reference for numerous tourists.
