Parco Regionale di Porto Conte

Alghero faces the sea and it has been named after the sea. A fortified town with imposing towers and 16th century walls, it is set in an environmental context of great value including Porto Conte Park and Capo Caccia-Isola Piana Marine Reserve. The historical town center, with its architectural features and charming alleys, is a small jewel set in the land of Sardinia. According to the tradition, its origins date back to the beginning of the 12th century, when the town was founded by the noble Doria family from Genoa. Subsequently conquered by the Catalans-Aragonese, it still preserves their way of speaking and traditions.
