13th-Century Medieval Fortress – Listed Historic Monument (MH / ISMH) Overlooking the fertile plains of Limagne and the foothills of the Livradois, east of Clermont-Ferrand and close to Billom, the Château de Mauzun rises from a basalt volcanic outcrop, a timeless sentinel of Auvergne’s history. Originally a fortified motte that became one of the principal strongholds of the Counts of Auvergne as early as the 10th century, Mauzun fully entered the history of France in the early 13th century. In 1210, King Philip II of France annexed Auvergne to the Kingdom of France and placed Mauzun under the authority of the Bishops of Clermont, contributing to its strategic development and prominence. Built according to the principles of the greatest medieval fortresses, Mauzun is remarkable for its exceptional scale: nearly 900 metres of ramparts protecting a vast lower bailey of approximately 3 hectares; an intermediate enceinte punctuated by 16 towers enclosing the outer courtyard; and a monumental keep measuring 50 metres on each side, flanked by four corner towers linked by massive curtain walls, with several levels of wall walks. In the 16th century, the fortress was enhanced with elements of comfort, notably a northern curtain wall opened with large sculpted windows, offering spectacular panoramic views. For almost four centuries, Mauzun stood as one of the symbols of power in Auvergne and remained a coveted site during every period of unrest. Gradually abandoned and partially dismantled, the château regained its unified ownership in the 19th century. In the 20th century, an initial restoration programme was undertaken, particularly the Captaincy Tower, converted into residential accommodation. Further works were resumed in the 21st century and remain to be completed. Today, Mauzun stands as an open-air lesson in medieval military architecture, a site of rare evocative power. Underground passages, defensive systems, a mysterious cistern, and its bold setting atop an ancient volcano continue to inspire research, reflection, and discovery. More than a real estate project, the Château de Mauzun is a heritage to be preserved — a place to be understood and respected. It is intended for a purchaser driven by a passion for history and architecture, willing to commit to a long-term vision in the service of preservation and transmission.

On a hill in the picturesque San Polo dei Cavalieri, a few kilometers from Rome, a splendid 10th-century castle is for sale, a true monument of history and architecture. The residence initially belonged to the Knights of the Sovereign Order of Malta and later became part of the Roman monastery of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. Only in the 12th century did the castle take the name of San Polo dei Cavalieri and become an important strategic point at the crossroads of the Sabina and Aniene valleys, attracting the interest of the feudal lords of Marcellina, Palombara Sabina, Montecelio, Tivoli, and the Abbey of Saint Paul. In the second half of the 14th century, the estate passed to the noble Orsini family, who transformed it into a powerful family fortress. In 1558, the Orsinis sold the castle to the Cesi dynasty, who used it as an elegant summer residence, where members of the aristocracy often gathered. It was here, in 1603, under the patronage of Federico Cesi, that the Accademia dei Lincei was founded, one of the first academies of science in Europe, where Galileo Galilei himself was a guest. After the plague epidemic of 1656, the castle passed to the Borghese family and subsequently became part of the Papal State during the unification of Italy. Today, this magnificent castle, with a surface area of approximately 2,000 square meters, presents itself to our eyes after a careful restoration, carried out with extreme attention to detail and using noble materials. The interiors include sumptuous halls and dining rooms decorated with ancient frescoes and large windows offering breathtaking views.

In the enchanting landscapes of the province of Viterbo, on the top of a picturesque hill, rises a majestic castle of the 7th century, guarding behind its ancient walls a fascinating tale that history itself has written over the centuries. This magnificent estate is located in the elegant and refined village of Torre Alfina, in the heart of Lazio, where the borders with green Umbria and poetic Tuscany intertwine. Where narrow streets make sharp turns past ancient stone houses and time slows down, hidden in the soft shadow of mighty towers, this romantic castle of 5,000 square meters is located, surrounded by a lush Renaissance garden of 1,000 square meters. In this famous corner of Italy, an enchanting world awaits you, where nature and art merge, creating an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility. The unique history of the castle began in the early Middle Ages, when the Monaldeschi della Cervara family built it as a mighty fortress. Every stone of these majestic towers breathes history - they witnessed the Renaissance splendor of the times of Sforza Monaldeschi, experienced the enthusiasm of the romantic transformations in the 19th century, when Count Edoardo Caen d'Anvers and the architect Giuseppe Partini breathed new life into the castle, turning it into a pearl of the neo-Gothic style. The grandeur and refinement of the landscape are emphasized by the elegant gardens created by the famous garden masters Henri and Achille Duchesnay, who added subtle notes of serenity and romance to this fairy-tale atmosphere. Entering the castle, you find yourself in a fascinating atmosphere of luxurious interiors. Here, marble floors, precious frescoes, vaulted ceilings, skillful wall decorations and graceful statues are harmoniously intertwined - as if a reflection of past eras raised to the pinnacle of perfection. The luxurious suite of rooms is decorated with elegant arches and huge windows that open up breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. On the first floor of the mansion, you can stroll through the grand gallery, look into spacious reception halls or cozy living rooms that immerse guests in the atmosphere of a former aristocratic life. The second level - piano nobile - is another magnificent gallery, a library with the warm comfort of parquet floors, dining rooms and halls that preserve the sophistication of bygone centuries. Above are the rooms and bedrooms, among which a special place is occupied by a room with a bathroom and a sauna.

Built between 1560 and 1575, it retains its unique charm to this daya symbol of history, nobility, and sophistication. Over the centuries, the castle served as a favorite retreat for popes, cardinals, noble families, and monarchs, including the legendary Swedish Queen Christina in the 17th century. In 1940, it was within these walls that the Treaty of Armistice was signed between Italy and France. Situated just twenty kilometers north of Rome, the castle is immersed in the verdant surroundings of thirty hectares of manicured meadows and ancient forests, creating an atmosphere of absolute privacy and harmony with nature. It was here that the legendary racehorse Ribot was born. The equestrian facilities are built to the highest international standards: two stables with twenty-three and twenty-five stalls, respectively, are equipped with saddle rooms, grooming areas, and comfortable apartments for staff. The complex also features an indoor riding arena, an indoor carousel, an indoor riding arena, and extensive pastures for breeding horses, ideal for training and competitions. The castle borders one of the most prestigious golf clubs in Europe and has its own helipad. The ancient Etruscan caves located on the estate add special charm and historical value to the site. The main building of the castle rises on five levels. The ground floor features spacious reception rooms, a study, a bedroom, three bathrooms, a sophisticated dining room and a large kitchen, continuing down to the lower level where a banqueting room is located, ideal for special occasions. On the second floor there are two grand salons with painted ceilings, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The third floor includes two more bedrooms, a bathroom, a small kitchen, a laundry room and a closet. The upper level is occupied by a completely independent apartment. Eight separate apartments are located within the castle's four towers, and a spacious villa is hidden in the shade of the forest. The estate boasts thirty-four bedrooms and thirty-five bathrooms, with a total area of approximately six thousand square meters. The luxury and comfort of this residence are complemented by a swimming pool nestled in a perfectly manicured English lawn, a clubhouse with a gym, and a spa area with a heated pool.
