Castle of Acquafredda, Medieval castle in Siliqua, Italy
The Castle of Acquafredda stands on a volcanic hill at 256 meters elevation, providing views across the Cixerri Valley in southern Sardinia.
Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, mentioned in Dante's Inferno, acquired ownership of the castle in 1258, leading the fortress through its most notable period.
The castle complex contains three distinct levels: a village section with troop quarters, a water storage tower, and the main fortification structure.
Visitors can reach the castle by taking SS 130 for 35 kilometers, followed by SS 293 for 4 kilometers from Siliqua town center.
Recent archaeological excavations at the castle site revealed remains of three individuals aged between 34 and 45 years buried in the ground.
