The castle of Stigliano is a medieval fortress located in the homonymous hamlet of Santa Maria di Sala, in the province of Venice. Under the domination of the Serenissima it was adapted to a stately palace, taking on the appearance of a Venetian villa.

The medieval fortress of Stigliano was first mentioned in 1152 as a feudal property of the Bishop of Treviso. However, its origins may date back to Roman times due to its location in the "graticolato" area. In 1158, it was entrusted to the Tempesta family of Noale and then to the Teutonic Knight Aldobrandino da Superno.

Built in a strategic position, alongside the Muson dei Sassi stream, it marked the border between the territories of Padua and Treviso. Therefore, it was the scene of numerous brutal battles until the end of the fourteenth century.
