Castello di Poggiodiana, Medieval castle in Ribera, Italy.
The castle stands on a hilltop 200 meters high, featuring a cylindrical tower of 25 meters and perimeter walls overlooking the Verdura River valley.
Built by Saracens in the 9th century and fortified by Normans in the 12th century, the castle protected communities between Platani and Triocala regions.
The castle tower appears on Ribera's coat of arms, depicting a golden crenellated structure on a green mountain against an azure background.
The fortress covers 3000 square meters with remaining structures including two towers, partial perimeter walls, and sections of the original defensive system.
The castle received its current name in the 16th century after Diana Moncada, who spent several months each year residing within its walls.
