Un bel panorama sul piccolo borgo di Chiaramonti e anche sul territorio in direzione di Perfugas. Il castello giace sull’altura che domina il borgo e costituiva una parte del fitto complesso di fortezze che la famiglia ligure aveva costruito in Sardegna per difendersi dagli attacchi degli Aragonesi.e pirati Il castello, proprio per via della sua posizione strategica, divenne oggetto di contesa tra il giudice Mariano IV, che lo voleva come parte della dote di nozze di sua figlia Eleonora con Brancaleone Doria, e il re d’Aragona Pietro IV, che sperava di entrarne in possesso facendo sposare un suo fidato cortigiano con Violante Doria, sorella di Brancaleone. La roccaforte comprendeva una torre quadrangolare e una cinta muraria che racchiudeva le strutture deputate a ospitare i balestrieri e i soldati. In seguito al passaggio definitivo della Sardegna sotto la dominazione aragonese nel 1420, si decise di rimaneggiare la struttura ricavandovi una chiesa tardogotica, i cui resti sono ancora visibili, insieme alla base di quello che doveva essere il campanile. E sempre un piacere visitarlo e fotografarlo. A beauty for all that remains. Not to be missed if you are in the area. Very peaceful Steeped in history a must visit place Not much to see, the castle is in ruins and there's mostly a pile of stones. However, the views are nice and mellow, and there's a small park with a sign that explains the history of the place. Be aware of the road back from the hill (if you go left after the road down from the castle) as I scratched the underside of our rental car due to the steepness of the descent. Doria Castle in Sardinia, Italy, is a historical gem that takes you back in time while offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Perched on a cliff, the castle's strategic location provides an incredible panorama of the sea and the picturesque town below. Exploring the castle's ancient walls and ruins was a fascinating experience, providing insight into the region's rich history. The site is well-preserved, and it's evident that efforts have been made to maintain its authenticity. While Doria Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking awe-inspiring vistas, I am giving it 4 stars due to a few considerations. Firstly, access to some parts of the castle can be challenging for individuals with mobility issues, as there are uneven pathways and stairs to navigate. Additionally, more information boards or guided tours would enhance the visitor's understanding of the castle's historical significance. Nonetheless, the charm of Doria Castle is undeniable, and the views it offers are truly worth the visit. If you enjoy history and admire breathtaking landscapes, this castle should be on your itinerary when exploring Sardinia. With a touch of improvement in accessibility and information provision, this historical marvel could easily achieve a perfect rating. Nice castle with beautiful view from top of hill! È meraviglioso! Da vedere Worth a visit, and fantastic views. Posto stupendo ..ingresso libero.. potrai ammirare un panorama mozzafiato, i resti del Castello e un bellissimo parco con i tavoli dove poter fare un picnic.. un posto da valorizzare! Es gratuït..Els carrers són una mica estrets i m imagino que a temporada alta ha d estar una mica més complicat. Nosaltres hi vàrem anar tarda vespre..Ens va agradar molt Piękne miejsce... ciekawe, plac uporządkowany, tr,eba w to zainwestować ale ... historia w żywej postaci Ruins of the Castle and panoramic view of the surroundings. Worth visiting It is hard to reach with a car better lieve in a wide place and go on foot. It is nice Beautiful ruins to roam around in for a bit. Site is well taken care of!
