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.
