Alghero

Alghero lies along Sardinia’s northwestern Mediterranean coast, where the Bay of Alghero meets a shore of limestone cliffs and the Capo Caccia headland. The old town is enclosed by sea walls and bastions built under Aragonese rule, with towers and waterfront ramparts still defining its outline. Known in Catalan as L’Alguer, the city preserves a Catalan linguistic and cultural identity dating from the fourteenth-century settlement of Catalans. Coral jewellery is another established local tradition, reflected in workshops around the historic centre. Beyond town, Capo Caccia is associated with Neptune’s Grotto, a sea cave on the coast.
