The Savoy Su Pisu Fort, also known as "Sa guardia de Su Pisu" or "the castle," dominates the island from atop a 60-meter hill. This military structure was built between 1813 and 1815. Its location was previously occupied by Punic walls, which had partially demolished a nuraghe.
At the time, the island of Sant'Antioco was constantly threatened by incursions from the Ottoman Empire, particularly from Tunis, where ships carrying Barbary pirates set sail to plunder the poorly defended villages along the Sardinian coast.

"The Savoyard Fort of Su Pisu, also known as the Castle, is located at the highest point of the village of Sant'Antioco, on the so-called Mont'e Cresia, in a strategic position that has housed various constructions over the centuries The oldest structure consists of a multipass nuraghe tower, which was probably built in the 15th century BC. On the slope that leads down to the necropolis of Is Pirixeddus, traces of the nuraghe village were found next to the remains of the nuraghe. "
