Castello di Oliveri, Castle in Oliveri, Italy
Castello di Oliveri is a fortified castle perched above the village with reinforced walls surrounding an interior courtyard. An Aragonese tower stands within the complex and offers views toward the surrounding terrain.
The fortress was built in the 11th century under Count Roger as a strategic defense post. It was positioned to oversee the ancient tuna fishing grounds that flourished during the Arab-Norman period.
The castle takes its name from the village of Oliveri and continues to shape how the town center looks and feels. Visitors notice how it stands above the settlement and remains central to how locals and travelers experience the place.
The castle is accessible via Via Castello during regular opening hours for visitors exploring its medieval architecture. The site allows you to walk through various rooms and take in views of the landscape from the elevated position.
The fortress overlooks territory long connected to tuna processing and fishing trade. This industry shaped the economic importance of the place for centuries and remains part of local memory.
