Alghero's old town gathers imposing Italian- and Spanish-style palaces and fortifications that overlook the beguiling, crystal-clear sea of the surrounding area. It is one of the most representative examples of the Catalan-Aragonese domination of Sardinia, as evidenced by its dialect, the so-called algherese, that still retains important patterns coming from the Catalan. Walking down the streets of the city centre, it is possible to see bilingual road signs that indicate the names of streets and squares both in Italian and Catalan.
Alghero is peppered with beautiful buildings and sumptuous manor houses. The city is dominated by impressive military structures, such as the monumental Forte de La Magdalena, Torre degli Ebrei, Torre di San Joan and Esperò Reial. It is also home to splendid civic buildings, such as Palazzo De Ferreira, a rare example of Gothic-style construction of the sixteenth century. Not to be missed are the city's churches, such as the Cathedral, the complex of St. Francesco and the church of St. Michele, whose coloured dome is one of Alghero's most representative landmarks. Visitors will also have the possibility to go for pleasant walks along the fascinating fortified sea promenades of the city.
