Aymerich Castle Ruins

Fascinating remains of the castle, with a little imagination you can guess how beautiful it could have been

In the middle of the Parco Aymerich you can see the ruins of a medieval castle, built in the 13th century to keep an eye on the border between the Guidicato of Arborea and that of Cagliari. This has also been claimed by each of these governments. The main tower is of Spanish origin and was converted into a prison in the 18th century. It is a two-story rectangular building with an arched entrance and a barrel-vaulted ceiling leading to a spacious courtyard. The building's doors and windows are decorated with elegant Catalan Gothic frames. A portico leads to a 35 m long room divided into different rooms. The noble residents lived on the upper floor and the servants lived on the lower floor.Source: sardegnaturismo.it/en/explore/parco-aymerich
