Castello della Fava, Medieval castle and historical park museum in Posada, Italy
The castle stands on a limestone hill with a square tower, crenelated walls, and water cisterns overlooking the Posada River valley.
The 13th-century fortress served as a residence for the judges of Gallura before passing to the Republic of Pisa and later to Aragonese control.
The castle's name originates from a legend where residents fed fava beans to pigeons to deceive besieging forces about their food supplies.
Visitors can reach the castle by following SS 125 road to Posada junction, located 56 kilometers from Nuoro in northeastern Sardinia.
The fortress contains preserved medieval defense structures and provides views stretching from Rio Posada valley to San Giovanni beaches.
