The Best Places to Visit in Alghero
Sea Walls
- A notable feature of the town's mediaeval cityscape is the golden sea walls that the Aragonese erected around the centre of Storico in the 16th century.
- They stretch from Piazza Sulis in the south to Porta a Mare and the marina in the north and are topped by a pedestrianised route with stunning views of Capo Caccia on the azure horizon.
- The promenade is lined with eateries and bars, making it the ideal place to relax and take in the festive atmosphere.
- Start at Torre di Sulis on the same-named piazza if you want to stroll the walls, also called the bastioni.
- Initially, the defensive line of towers to the south of the old town was blocked off by this 22-meter tower.
- You may reach the significant stretch, the Bastioni Marco Polo, where most restaurants are arranged, by continuing north along the Bastioni Cristoforo Colombo. En there, you'll pass the Torre di San Giacomo.
- Two further towers, the Torre della Polveriera and Torre di Sant'Elmo may be found at the northernmost point.
- The Porta a Mare, the second of Alghero's mediaeval gateways, is reached after the final section, the Bastioni Magellano, from where you can enter Piazza Civica in the city's historic centre.
- The Torre della Maddalena is a part of the Forte della Maddalena, the lone relic of the city's old land battlements, located beyond the Porta.
Chiesa di San Francesco
- The best church in Alghero is a superb example of harmonious architecture.
- It was initially constructed in the 14th century using Catalan Gothic architecture, but after it collapsed in 1593, it was later given a Renaissance makeover.
- The 18th-century polychrome marble altar and a peculiar 17th-century wooden sculpture of a dishevelled Christ bound to a column draw the most attention.
- The stunning 14th-century abbey, where the 22 columns connect several circular arches, is accessible through the sacristy.
- The abbey has a unique warmth due to the buttery sandstone used in the arcades and columns, making it an ideal location for summer performances. A bell tower is also present.
Chiesa di San Michele
- The 17th-century Chiesa di San Michele is located on Via Carlo Alberto, the main thoroughfare of the ancient town, and is distinguished by its maiolica-tiled dome.
- The fact that the current tiles were installed in the 1960s doesn't take away from their beauty.
- A wooden sculpture of San Michele (St. Michael) killing Satan can be found inside.
- You cross Via Gilbert Ferret just before you get to the church. Workers have long gathered at this intersection, known as the quatre cantonades (four sides), hoping to find work.

Alghero Off the Beaten Track
Piazza Civica
- Piazza Civica, Alghero's most prominent square, is located just inside Porta a Mare.
- Previously the administrative centre of the mediaeval city, tourists today congregate to explore jewellery displays in magnificent store windows, eat gelati, and drink in the city's largest cafe, Caffè Costantino, where Spanish aristocrats formerly gathered to discuss matters of empire.
- The Gothic Palazzo d'Albis, where Charles V of Spain famously stayed in 1541, houses it on the first level.
Cattedrale di Santa Maria
- With its flashy neoclassical exterior and thick Doric columns, Alghero's enormous Cattedrale di Santa Maria, which overlooks Piazza Duomo, looks out of place.
- The hybrid cathedral has undergone numerous alterations since it was first constructed in the 16th century along Catalan Gothic lines.
- The tragic 19th-century extension of the facade was the latest of these alterations.
- Most of the interior decor is Renaissance, with a few late-baroque ornaments added in the 18th century.

Alghero Culture and Traditions
- All of you who enjoy the outdoors will appreciate Alghero! Go snorkelling to see incredible multicoloured fish or go on a boat tour to see dolphins.
- Due to its subaquatic caves, Alghero is also a popular destination for scuba divers. In and around Alghero are numerous beaches with white sands and crystal-clear green waters.
- Along with relaxing, you can participate in a variety of water sports. The most well-known beach is La Pelosa, located in Stintino, a small town near Alghero.
- Alghero comes to life in the summer evenings! After dining al fresco, stroll through the old town's narrow lanes and down the promenade.
- Alghero is the place to be if you love food! There are several regional specialities in addition to the standard Italian fare like pizza, spaghetti, and gelato.
- Carasau, the neighbourhood's thin and crunchy flatbread, can be found on every restaurant table. It is perfect for an aperitivo with a glass of wine and the local pecorino cheese.
- Fainè is a giant chickpea pancake that you should also taste. Excellent as an inexpensive snack.
- The people there are relaxed, kind, and kind. Due to their openness and chattiness, they are particularly amenable to making acquaintances.
- Due to the lack of English speakers—even the vast majority of tourists are from Italy—it's a fantastic spot to practise your Italian.

Alghero: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
Trattoria al Refettorio
#Food
- Despite being a little expensive, Trattoria al Refettorio is one of my favourite places in Alghero and serves some of the greatest seafood in the area.
- Several options are available, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
- There are tables outside and even inside in a lovely room, and the wine selection is excellent.
- The location is also lovely. On extremely crowded nights, service may be a little slow.
Trattoria lo Romani
#Food
- It's a great restaurant you should visit if you want to fill up on comfort cuisine and regional fare.
- Many people enjoy eating spaghetti and bombette, meatballs in a lovely tomato sauce.
- The restaurant is owned and operated by Gigi and Vittoria, a married couple.
- He is from Tonara and is an expert in meat and more traditional Sardinian specialities, while she specialises in seafood dishes.
- There is a sizable wine list as well.
Nautilus
#Food
- This is the location you want to go to for a memorable and maybe romantic evening out.
- For an even more fantastic experience, request a table on the patio with a view of the port.
- Nautilus is a favourite among locals and visitors and overlooks Alghero's tourist harbour.
- It's tough to find anything to criticise, from the hors d'oeuvres through the desserts. Expect to pay at least €60 for the pricing, but they are still worthwhile. The service is fantastic.
Agostino Marogna
#Fashion
- The Riviera del Corallo, off the coast of Alghero, is where coral has historically been mined for use in jewellery.
- One of Alghero's best coral shops, Agostino Marogna, offers a stunning selection of jewellery, from tiny gold brooches to elaborate necklaces with smooth blood-red beads. The starting price is about €100.
- Each necklace takes years for Marogna to create. Staff frequently had to put off their work until the upcoming season because a limited amount of coral is available each year.
- Making one smooth red ball resulted in about 60% waste. Then, they need to locate coral that is precisely the same colour and quality. Up to €30,000 can be spent on such necklaces.
Cyrano
#Fashion
- A hip independent bookshop was serving as a cafe and a cultural hub.
- The majority of the books are in Italian; however, there is a small selection of summertime English-language novels.
- Aside from the books, it's a nice place to relax with a cup of coffee, an aperitivo, or a glass of wine.
- Regular activities like wine tastings, book presentations, and musical evenings are also held.
Alghero Aquarium
#Fun
- Visitors to the Alghero Aquarium in Sardinia, Italy, in 2008 informed us of the situation.
- They discussed the horrendous conditions in which two loggerhead turtles were kept at the Aquarium.
- The Born Free Foundation also investigated the travellers' emails of grievances. We sought assistance from Dr Flegra Bentivegna, curator of the Naples Aquarium at the "Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn" (SZN) in Naples.
- The two turtles were housed at the Aquarium for 30 and 20 years, respectively.
- The turtles were finally taken in 2011 by the local authorities, who then transported them to Oristano, Sardinia, where they were housed in a 3,000-liter rehabilitation tank at the Sinis Rescue Centre (CRES) at the IAMC-CNR laboratory (Institute for Coastal Marine Environment).
- Both turtles were malnourished, underweight, and had head injuries and parasite infestations on their shells.
- The two turtles had a deficiency in calcium assimilation since there was no natural sunshine in the underground construction where they were kept in a small tank.
- They have gained weight since beginning rehabilitation, and their nutrition is regular in quantity and quality.
- The turtles will shortly be moved to a 14,000 lt. Tank for their pre-releasing period and locomotor rehabilitation.

- One of the areas of the Porto Conte Regional Nature Reserve with the most incredible diversity of plant life is the state-owned Porto Conte - Prigionette wildlife sanctuary.
- In the state forest, also known as "Noah's Ark," visitors may encounter native animals like the Sardinian donkey, the white Asinara donkey, wild horses, and plant species of great botanical and natural interest.

- The forest's extensive paths can be explored on foot without restriction. However, eco-friendly electric minicars (4 seats), e-bikes, and guided trips for photo safaris are also offered for rent (minimum of four people).

Alghero Must-Attend Festivals and Events
- The Feast of Saint Joan commemorates the beginning of summer.
- The Summer Solstice, which occurs on this day, is the year's longest day.
- The concept is that the sun rises to its highest position on the night of Saint Joan before starting to set.
- The sun must be intense because it is viewed as a sign of fertility and abundance.
- The "Focs" are celebrated in Alghero on the S. Giovanni beach to commemorate the start of the summer, friendship, and fraternity.
- Friends who wish to declare their friendship formally will jump into the fire in a very suggestive manner.
- You can see horse displays and educational presentations on Sardinia's wild and medicinal herbs throughout the celebrations, which span a few days.
