Castello Del Duca
This luxurious beachfront property for sale in Liguria dating from 1500 was originally a Saracen watchtower to foil pirate landings in the Gulf. The current structure of the building is from ca. 1650.
Consistent with typical “Alessiano” architecture, named after the famous Italian architect Galeazzo Alessi, the castle is named “Castello del Duca” as it was transferred to the Duke of Castelvari and Duke of Zoagli by his father, sailor and Consul for the Realm of Sardinia, who bought it in the 1800s.
This castle for sale in Zoagli is still this family’s property.
