Castello di Pietratagliata, Medieval castle in Aidone, Italy.
The castle stands on an elevated sandstone ridge overlooking the Gornalunga valley, featuring a prominent circular tower and multiple excavated chambers.
The first documented mention of Castello di Pietratagliata dates to the 14th century when Federico III of Sicily assigned it to Perronus de Iuenio.
The castle's four distinct levels include rural houses, noble chambers, representation areas, and a chapel, reflecting medieval Sicilian architectural design.
Visitors can observe the castle's tower constructed from squared stone blocks, with its spiral staircase made of basalt steps leading to the terrace.
The fortress served as part of an optical signal network, enabling communication across long distances with other castles in central Sicily.
