Castello di Villasor

The three-story fortress features Gothic-Catalan architectural elements, a large inner courtyard, and stone coats of arms on its round-arched entrance portal.

Giovanni Siviller constructed this defensive structure in 1415 after receiving authorization from the Archbishop of Cagliari to build upon the remains of Santa Maria church.

The castle displays the Alagon Arborea de Silva family crest above its main entrance, representing the union of noble houses through marriage in the 18th century.

The ground floor rooms of this municipal property currently accommodate temporary exhibitions, conferences, civil weddings, and various cultural gatherings.

The interior contains a 15th-century wooden coffered ceiling, preserved through centuries of changes from fortress to barracks, prison, school, and agricultural storage.
