Castello di San Fili

The fortress features two quadrangular towers framing the main facade, with an ornamental balustrade oriented toward the Mediterranean Sea.

Captain Giuseppe Lamberti commissioned the construction of this military-inspired stronghold between 1710 and 1720 on the hilltop of San Fili fiefdom.

The central octagonal room on the noble floor represents the architectural preferences of Italian nobility in the early eighteenth century.

The castle includes defensive elements such as thick walls, small ground-level windows, and horizontal loopholes designed for protected crossfire positions.

The straight staircase creates deliberate axial perspectives, connecting the entrance hall to the elongated octagonal salon with sea-facing windows.
