Araghju, Archaeological site and viewpoint in San-Gavino-di-Carbini, France
The Castellu d'Araghju fortress stands on a rocky outcrop at 245 meters altitude, featuring circular walls up to 4 meters high and 2 meters thick.
Built around 2500 BCE during the Bronze Age, this military complex includes two bastions framing the main entrance and a partially preserved central tower.
Archaeological excavations conducted by Roger Grosjean in the 1960s revealed numerous artifacts that are now displayed at the Sartene Museum.
Visitors can walk along the parapet path surrounding the fortress walls and access the 450-square-meter inner courtyard through a narrow corridor.
The fortress contains guard rooms built into the thickness of its walls and features small chambers near the entrance that served as defensive positions.
