Castra Sarcyra (Caphiric Latin: Sarcyram de vară), also called the Sarcyra Villa or Château Sarcyre, is a palatial villa located in Sarcyre, Montverde, in Aciria. Built in 1609, it served as one of the summer residences of the Imperator of Caphiria during the Third Imperium, overlooking the Natiserve Bay. After the independence of Aciria in 1615, Castra Sarcyra became the property of the state and was used by various members of the aristocracy. Following a major fire in 1818 - which gutted one-third of the interior - the palace was extensively restored, and is currently an imperial residence of the Emperor of Aciria.
Today, the Sarcyra Villa is composed of four primary sections - the palace itself, the Sarcyric vineyards, the Consévolle chapel, and the Larà Gardens and Farmyard.
