Find Companionship in Alghero
Coral-fishing traditions earned Alghero the name Riviera del Corallo, and the harvesting of precious red coral from the underwater cliffs off Capo Caccia has sustained local artisans for centuries. About 34,261 people live in this municipality on the northwestern coast of Sardinia, in the Province of Sassari. The old town, encircled by Spanish-era walls and defensive towers built during Aragonese rule from the fourteenth century onward, retains a layout and architectural character distinct from anything else on the island.
Catalan influence runs deeper here than architecture. Algherese, a variant of Catalan, is still spoken by a portion of the population and appears on bilingual street signs throughout the centro storico. The Cathedral of Santa Maria and the Church of San Francesco, both within the walled quarter, date to the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries respectively. Outside the walls, the Nuraghe di Palmavera and the necropolis of Anghelu Ruju provide evidence of pre-Roman settlement in the area stretching back to the Bronze Age.
Alghero-Fertilia airport, located roughly 10 km north of the centre, receives seasonal flights from several European cities. Sassari is about 35 km northeast, connected by road and by the local rail line operated by ARST. Neptune's Grotto (Grotta di Nettuno), a stalactite cave accessible by boat from the port or by 654 steps cut into the cliff at Capo Caccia, is among Sardinia's most visited natural sites. The surrounding coastline includes the beaches of Le Bombarde and Lazzaretto, while the Parco Naturale Regionale di Porto Conte protects Mediterranean scrubland and marine habitat immediately west.
