Things to do in Sardinia, Italy: The Best Castles
The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia’s got a little something for everyone.

actually yes, I'd say this place is the most romantic spot in whole Sardinia.. the citadel, fortification is amazing spot, pretty hard walk to get up to the top. but what a view from there.. you can find a plenty of restaurants and bars on the way up.. which was amazing as all of them were serving Italian food. btw Sardinian people are just amazing hosts,, highly recommended.. nice landscape also from the top, even from the marina down there, when you can see the whole thing/citadel. plus small fee once you want to enter the history museum on the top..

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 118 reviews
The medieval fortress of Acquafredda, which controlled the access to the mining town of Villa di Chiesa, nowadays Iglesias, was built upon a volcanic cone, about 256 m high. In December 1993 the site was found Natural Monument, called “Domo Andesitico of Acquafredda”. Structurally the castle is set out on three defensive levels: suburb, tower cistern, donjon. The pisan count Ugolino Della Gherardesca has been the most famous owner of the Castle of Acquafredda. His events became well-known thanks to the verses of Dante Alighieri who includes him in the traitors' circle of “Divine Comedy”: here he nibbles the skull of the man who put him in prison, the archbishop Ruggeri Degli Ubaldini. "His mouth uplifted from the grim repast, that sinner..." (Hell, chant XXXIII°).
