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.

It offers spacious guest rooms, reception spaces for weddings, corporate events, and family gatherings, and accommodation for up to 45 guests across the château, guesthouse, and lodges. The estate still offers strong development potential, both in accommodation capacity and in weekday corporate hospitality.

Inside, the château spans over 600 m² of living space, blending wood, stone, and light to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Shared areas — including a billiard room, bar lounge, and reading corner — foster conviviality and relaxation. Each suite has been elegantly appointed with noble materials and contemporary comfort. The reception facilities have been designed with professionals in mind: two spacious event halls (150 m² and 250 m²) with high-end sound systems and heating for winter use, two meeting rooms, a large equipped catering kitchen, storage areas, and modern sanitary blocks — all perfectly arranged for smooth and memorable events.

With its high towers made of large stone ashlars, the armigers defended this noble land from the intrigues of wandering knights and the conspiracies of the mighty. It was in 1301 that Charles of Valois, brother of the King of France, and Corso Donati decreed the exile of Dante Alighieri in this castle.
