Why go
At Alghero Old Town, a compact Catalan-influenced centre enclosed by seafront bastions becomes the reason to stop. Notice honey-coloured lanes, church towers, defensive walls and Catalan street names; these details connect the Northwest landscape around Alghero Old Town with Sardinia's wider history. Relate Alghero Old Town to its immediate historic district setting before moving on.
What to look for
- Honey-coloured lanes, church towers, defensive walls and Catalan street names.
- The Northwest setting is part of the experience, not just a backdrop.
Useful to know
- Walk early or late for cooler streets, and treat churches as separate visits with variable access.
