All the charm and suggestions of Sardinian history kept into five places: it will be a sort of journey back in time. And you just need our five-stage itinerary to discover the castles of Sardinia.
The first castle to visit is located in the Sardinian capital. The castle of San Michele, in reality, is a fortified palace that dates back to the Giudicato of Cagliari. Characteristic for the presence of its massive towers, today it is used as a centre for art and culture.
The castle of San Michele is located on the homonymous hill in the northern part of the Sardinian capital. By car, it takes about ten minutes.

Also known as Serravalle Castle, built 81 meters above sea level, it overlooks the small town of Bosa. The current appearance of the manor is the result of several renovations: the imposing city walls and their towers are still there, while the palatine chapel and the ruins of the noble residence are worth visiting.
You can easily get to Bosa, one of the most beautiful villages in Sardinia, starting from Sassari: just take strada statale 131 Carlo Felice to Macomer and strada statale 129bis to Bosa. The journey by car takes about 1 hour.

To get to the castle on foot, just take via XX Settembre and you’ll be there in 15 minutes.
