Una fortezza medioevale dove s'intrecciano storia e leggenda, sorge sopra un picco granitico da cui domina il territorio del Goceano, nel centro-nord della Sardegna ---- Costruito intorno al 1134 per volere di Gonario I di Torres, il castello si distingue per la sua architettura difensiva particolarmente sofisticata. La struttura è caratterizzata da una triplice cinta muraria a forma di “U”, realizzata con blocchi di granito e pietrame, rivestiti di mattoni e compattati con malta. Al centro della corte si innalza per 16 metri la torre maestra a due piani, elemento dominante del complesso, costruita con cantoni di calcare e rinforzata negli spigoli con vulcanite rossa. La torre, quadrata e massiccia, priva di merli e mensole, rappresentava il nucleo difensivo principale. Nel cortile si trova l'ingresso a un vano sotterraneo che ospita una grande cisterna intonacata e voltata a botte, fondamentale per l'approvvigionamento idrico del castello. A nord della torre sono ancora visibili i resti di una serie di ambienti che ospitavano le truppe e la servitù, testimoniando l'organizzazione della vita quotidiana nella fortezza. --- La storia del Castello del Goceano è intessuta di eventi drammatici e cambi di potere che riflettono le complesse dinamiche politiche della Sardegna medievale. Nel 1194, durante la rivalità tra i giudici Guglielmo di Cagliari e Costantino di Torres, il castello fu teatro di un tragico episodio che vide protagonista la regina Prunisenda, moglie di Costantino, vittima della violenza di Guglielmo dopo la conquista della fortezza. Nel 1233, le mura del castello furono testimoni di un altro drammatico evento: l'assassinio di Barisone di Torres, orchestrato da Ubaldo Visconti nel suo tentativo di impossessarsi del giudicato. La vedova Adelasia, donna di straordinaria bellezza, andò in sposa a Enzo, figlio dell'imperatore Federico II, matrimonio che conferì a quest'ultimo il titolo di re di Sardegna. Tuttavia, dopo la cattura di Enzo da parte dei bolognesi, Adelasia si ritirò volontariamente nel castello, dove morì nel 1259, ultima giudicessa di Torres. --- Le vicende storiche del castello hanno alimentato un ricco patrimonio di leggende che ancora oggi affascinano visitatori e abitanti del luogo. Si narra che nelle notti di luna piena lo spirito di Adelasia vaghi tra i torrioni, contemplando malinconicamente le terre che un tempo percorreva a cavallo. Altrettanto suggestiva è la leggenda dell'anima dannata di Guglielmo di Cagliari, che si dice erri tra i ruderi inseguita da stormi di uccelli, invocando il perdono della regina Prunisenda. Queste storie, tramandate di generazione in generazione, non sono semplici racconti fantastici, ma rappresentano la memoria collettiva di eventi storici che hanno profondamente segnato la comunità locale, contribuendo a creare un forte legame emotivo tra il territorio e il suo castello.

In addition to admiring this excellent shot of yours at the castle, erected on a spur of rock to defend a magnificent territory, I enjoyed the story of its glorious history and the legends that have been handed down over time. Even in my part of the world, those few castles that survived the demolition of the Republic of Venice preserve similar legends and damned spirits that still populate their walls.
Congratulations, Giuseppe!
