About: Castles of Sardinia

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Between extant and gone, there are 82 castles in Sardinia, all built during the Middle Ages. Some date back to the Byzantine period, but most of them were built during the Judicate period and della Gherardesca, Malaspina and Doria rule, especially from the second half of the 13th century onwards. Built mainly for strategic military purposes, they had the function of guarding the judicial borders and the most important communication routes. With the unification of Sardinia under the Aragonese their importance faded away and over time almost all of them fell into ruin.

  • Tra esistenti e scomparsi si contano in Sardegna 83 castelli, tutti edificati durante il Medioevo. Alcuni risalgono all'età bizantina ma la gran parte di essi vennero eretti durante il periodo giudicale e signorile, soprattutto dalla seconda metà del XIII secolo in poi. Realizzati a scopo prevalentemente strategico-militare avevano funzione di vigilanza dei confini giudicali e delle vie di comunicazione più importanti. Con l'unificazione della Sardegna la loro funzione venne meno e col tempo la quasi totalità di essi andò in rovina. Il castello di Monreale, Sardaracastello del Goceano, Burgos (it)
