Chiesa di San Francesco
Alghero
　　Alghero's finest church is a model of architectural harmony. Originally built to a Catalan Gothic design in the 14th century, it was later given a Renaissance facelift after it partially collapsed in 1593. Inside, interest is focused on the 18th-century polychrome marble altar and a strange 17th-century wooden sculpture of...

Chiesa di San Michele
Alghero
　　On Via Carlo Alberto, the carrer major of the medieval town, the 17th-century Chiesa di San Michele is best known for its maiolica-tiled dome. The present tiles were laid in the 1960s, but this doesn’t detract from their beauty. Inside, look out for a wooden sculpture of San Michele (St...
Piazza Civica
Alghero
　　Just inside Porta a Mare, Piazza Civica is Alghero’s showcase square. In a former life it was the administrative heart of the medieval city, but where Spanish aristocrats once met to debate affairs of empire, tourists now converge to browse jewellery displays in elegant shop windows, eat gelati and drink...
Cattedrale di Santa Maria
Alghero
　　Overlooking Piazza Duomo, Alghero’s oversized Cattedrale di Santa Maria appears out of place with its pompous neoclassical facade and fat Doric columns. An unfortunate 19th-century addition, the facade was the last in a long line of modifications the hybrid cathedral has endured since it was built, originally on Catalan Gothic...
Torre di Sulis
Alghero
　　Dominating Piazza Sulis, this landmark tower was originally known as the Torre de l'Esperó Reial or Torre dello Sperone (Tower of the Royal Spur). Its current name is a reference to Vincenzo Sulis, a 19th-century Sardinian revolutionary who spent 22 years imprisoned within its 6m-thick walls. ...
Museo Archeologico della Città di Alghero
Alghero
　　The history of human settlement in the Alghero area is charted at this gleaming new archaeological museum, inaugurated in December 2016. Artefacts discovered in nuraghic villages, neolithic caves and Roman shipwrecks are exhibited in thematic displays relating to the sea, ancient ways of life, and cults and death. ...
Sea Walls
Alghero
　　Alghero's golden sea walls, built around the centro storico by the Aragonese in the 16th century, are a highlight of the town's historic cityscape. Running from Piazza Sulis in the south to Porta a Mare and the marina in the north, they're crowned by a pedestrianised path that commands superb...
