The Journey
Alghero Port

Stroll along the docks, soak in the Mediterranean sun, and watch as boats bob gently on the azure waters. Enjoy fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants and experience the charm of coastal Sardinia.
Piazza Civica
Piazza Civica, once the heart of Alghero's aristocracy, is a historic square dating back to the 13th century. This beautiful meeting place was the center of bourgeois life and offers a glimpse into Alghero's rich past. Admire the Palazzo de Ferrera, where Charles V, the Spanish Emperor, resided in 1541. Start your exploration of Alghero from this significant landmark and feel the weight of history beneath your feet.
Alghero Jewish Quarter
Step back in time as you explore the former Jewish Quarter of Alghero, once home to Catalan Jews since the 14th century. Alghero and Cagliari were the only two cities in Sardinia with Jewish communities at the time. Though the community ceased to exist after the Alhambra Decree in 1492, the area retains its historical charm. Wander through the narrow streets, imagining the lives of those who once called this place home and reflecting on Alghero’s diverse heritage.
Alghero Cathedral
Alghero Cathedral, a testament to centuries of construction, showcases a captivating blend of architectural styles. Building began in the 16th century (circa 1560-70) but stretched over three centuries due to economic constraints.

The bell tower is a notable landmark, providing stunning views of the city.

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, feel the sea breeze on your face, and imagine the city's defenses against invaders. This picturesque walk offers a blend of history and natural beauty.
Tower of the Jews (Torre dell'Ebreo)
