En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château Merlacce, in Centuri, originated in a quadrangular tower, a casa forte of the Preziosi family, typical of Cap Corse in the late Middle Ages and the modern period. In the 20th century, the Franceschi family, associated with the title of Marquis of Sedilo, profoundly transformed the building by adding a pastiche neo-medieval decoration - crenellations and a fortress silhouette - intended essentially for aesthetic rather than defensive purposes. The terraced garden, served by independent staircases, has been documented in the heritage inventory since 1996 (reference IA2B001287). A private property now abandoned, visible from the D35 road, the château shows structural cracks but retains considerable architectural and landscape value.
