Alghero's Absolute Essentials

Alghero showcases a distinct Catalan influence reflected in the Gothic architecture of the Cathedral of St. Mary and the surrounding medieval walls. The landscape features the dramatic limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia and the stalactite-filled Neptune’s Grotto. Prehistoric history is preserved at the Palmavera Nuragic complex and the Anghelu Ruju necropolis, home to 38 rock-cut tombs. The coastal experience includes the white sands of Maria Pia beach and the 16th-century Torre di San Giovanni, part of the city's original fortifications.
