Alghero

Alghero has served as a fortified port on Sardinia’s northwestern coast since the 14th century. Facing the Bay of Alghero on the Mediterranean, the city is still partly enclosed by sea walls and bastions developed under Aragonese rule. Its historic centre retains a distinct Catalan character: after the Crown of Aragon took the town in 1354, Catalan settlers reshaped its population, and Algherese Catalan is still spoken locally. The Cathedral of Santa Maria stands within the old town, while the waterfront looks towards Capo Caccia, a limestone headland west of the city. Coral craftsmanship remains an established local tradition. Find related webcams around Alghero and northwestern Sardinia to build a fuller picture of this coast.
