Posada

Posada stands on a hill near Sardinia's eastern shore, beneath the square tower of the Castello della Fava. In the Middle Ages it was the chief town of the Baronia di Posada. Its castle passed between Arborea and Aragon during their struggle for the island and was associated with Eleanor of Arborea. In 1431 the Crown of Aragon created the barony of Posada for Nicolò Carroz, making the castle a seat of the barons.
