Castle of Sanluri, Medieval castle in Sanluri, Italy.
The Castle of Sanluri features a quadrangular structure measuring 26 meters on each side with four crenellated towers connected by 12-meter-high walls.
The castle, built in 1188, marked the strategic border between the independent states of Cagliari and Arborea, later witnessing a decisive battle in 1409.
The castle houses the Museo Risorgimentale Duca d'Aosta, displaying 400 wax figures, military artifacts, and a collection of period furniture within its halls.
Visitors can access the castle through the main entrance, which leads to a central courtyard with steps ascending to exhibition rooms on the first floor.
Among 88 medieval castles in Sardinia, the Castle of Sanluri remains the only one currently habitable and functions as both a residence and museum.
