Villasor

The Seviller Castle is of certain interest for visitors to Villasor. This stronghold is known as ''of the Alagons'', from the name of the Iberian family who owned it for such a long time. In actual fact, the castle was erected at the wish of Giovanni Sivilleris, to whom the Archbishop of Cagliari in 1415, had conceded permission to erect a fortification to defend the territory from the rebels from Arborea, veterans of the war with the Aragonese. It is also possible to visit the complex of "Su Sonatori". The complex is made up of a donjon, a hexagonal body and a village. The donjon is surrounded by six 'separate' curvilinear building which are all different in shape and size and are connected by straight and curvilinear curtain walls which enclose a huge courtyard to the south-south-west. The circular-shaped donjon has an external diameter of 9.90m. The walls are made of huge blocks of stone dug from the local clayey-schistous rock. Visitors to Villasor should also take an interesting trip around the historic centre of the village, where you can admire the Churches of San Biagio, Sant'Antonio, Santa Maria and Santa Vitalia on the outskirts of the village.
