Review & FAQ:

Alghero, a port city on the northwest coast, dates back to the 12th century. Most of the City Walls of Alghero and medieval towers are intact. The golden sea walls, built in the 16th century, are used by locals and tourists as a pedestrian walkway. The 22 m Torre di Sulis at the south end is a museum. There are two more towers at the northern end, with restaurants and bars en route. The four bastions are named after the explorers, Columbus, Marco Polo, Magellan and Pigafetta. The city walls are the ideal venue for a leisurely coastal stroll or an ice cream break.
