Castello di Medusa, Medieval castle ruins on granite hill in Lotzorai, Italy.
The remains of Castello di Medusa stand on elevated terrain, featuring stone walls that merge with the mountain's natural rock formations.
Originally constructed as a Punic fortress between the 5th and 2nd centuries BC, the structure later served as a Roman military headquarters under Sulpicius Portus.
The castle holds protected status as Italian national heritage, representing centuries of architectural development and regional defense strategies in Sardinia.
Visitors can access the castle ruins by following the marked path from Via Roma in Lotzorai, with the site offering views of the valley between Baunei and Tortoli.
The eastern facade contains a preserved room with an arched ceiling and white plaster, providing evidence of the castle's original architectural details.
