Castello di Pedres

The granite castle stands on an 89-meter elevation, featuring remains of four towers, two courtyards, and polygonal walls accessible through stone staircases.

Built between 1296 and 1322 during the Pisano-Aragonese period, the fortress protected Civita and maintained surveillance over the borders with the Judicate of Torres.

The castle represents a significant example of medieval military architecture in Sardinia, displaying the defensive techniques used during the Giudicale period.

The castle grounds remain open throughout the week with free admission, and street parking spaces are available near the entrance.

From the castle's remaining structures, visitors can observe the entire Olbia plain extending to the Gulf, just as guards did in medieval times.
