Alghero Old Town Self Guided Audio Tour

For over 650 years, Alghero has spoken Catalan, not Italian — conquered by the Crown of Aragon in the 1350s and resettled with Catalan families. This 75-minute self-guided audio walk starts at Piazza Sulis and winds through the walled old town, past Gothic-Catalan churches, a 15th-century Jewish financier's palazzo, and the Cathedral, where centuries of Aragonese and Renaissance craftsmanship meet. A 16th-century crucifix, rescued from a shipwreck in Porto Conte Bay, still leads Holy Week processions today. The walk closes on the ramparts, with the Mediterranean and Capo Caccia's cliffs stretching out below. It's history you can feel underfoot, told stop by stop, at your own pace. Highlights: - Stand in the tower where a revolutionary was held for 21 years. - Discover why Alghero is nicknamed Sardinia's Barceloneta. - End on the ramparts, gazing at Capo Caccia's cliffs. NO crowds in the tour, just you and the history of an amazing town.
