Castle
Castillo Di Bivar
🇧🇷 Brazil · 20th century
The Castillo Di Bivar or Castelo Bivar (in Portuguese: Castelo Di Bivar) is located in the municipality of Carnaúba dos Dantas, 219 km from the capital Natal, in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte.
Standing on a hilltop beside the RN-288 road, it is an imitation of a French Renaissance château. Begun around 1984, the work remains unfinished to this day.
The castle's name is a tribute to the Italian-American film based on the Spanish figure of "El Cid" (Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar). After seeing the film, the owner, José Ronilson Dantas, was drawn to the medieval style, which resulted in the construction of the castle.
