On the hill of Monte in Telti, on a hill of 234 m in 534 AD the Emperor Justinian built the Castle of Sa Paulazza, one of the oldest castles in all of Italy and the most beautiful on the Island. He was named so because of the swamp on which he was located. Built with granite blocks, the castle has been well preserved over time, with structures remained almost intact.

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.
