Sanluri Castle

Sardegna · Italia · Castle

The castle of Sanluri, raised in 1355 on the orders of Peter IV of Aragon, is the only one of Sardinia's 88 medieval castles still habitable and today houses a museum. In 1409 the decisive battle was fought here in which Aragon crushed the army of the Judicate of Arborea – a turning point in the island's history. According to folklore the castle is haunted by a queen, whose voice is said to be heard in the halls at night. The site is also tied to the legend of the Beauty of Sanluri, a young woman said to have beguiled the victorious King Martin the Younger – and, so the story goes, consumed him to death in revenge before he died of fever a month after the battle.
