TORRI E BASTIONI
Towers built by the Doria family in the 12th century, then fortified by the Catalan-Aragonese
Built by the Doria family in the 12th century and then fortified by the Catalan-Aragonese. The old town of Alghero was surrounded by a thick defensive wall with watchtowers. Although refurbished, it is still possible to walk along these ramparts, ideally at sunset. The fortifications are therefore punctuated by several towers: the tower of La Maddalena, the octagonal tower of San Giacomo, built in the 15th century, the tower of the Espero Reial from the 16th century, measuring more than 25 m high, and the tower of the Portal from the 14th century.

La ville d’Alghero est très agréable à visiter. Celle-ci est en partie entourée de remparts en parfait état. La ballade en front de mer permet aussi de découvrir la vielle ville et les petites ruelles. Détour aussi par le port de plaisance avec les petits bateaux de pêche traditionnelle et les énormes yachts .Une magnifique tour à l’entrée de la ville bien mise en valeur sur un petit parc d’arbres exotiques. Nombreux restaurants et magasins.
