History of Alghero — Catalan since 1354
The Doria of Genoa founded Alghero in the 12th century; the Crown of Aragon took it in 1354 and resettled it from Catalonia. Algherese is still spoken today.

🇬🇧 Capo Caccia, 24 km from Alghero. Neptune's Grotto opens at the foot of this cliff — boat only, until 654 steps were cut into the rock in 1954. alghero.travel/en/day-trips

🇮🇹 Solo in barca, fino ai 654 gradini del 1954.

The limestone headland of Capo Caccia near Alghero, north-western Sardinia, photographed from a boat. A sheer cliff of pale ochre and grey rock rises straight out of deep blue water, its face grooved by vertical fissures and pocked with small caves; the flat top carries a strip of low green macchia and, at the highest point, a small white lighthouse building with a short tower. To the right the ridge slopes gently away towards the sea; to the left there is open water under a cloudless blue sky. Photo: Jürgen Scheeff / Unsplash.

🇬🇧 Alghero's 16th-century sea walls stopped being a fortress by decree in 1867. Today the ramparts carry restaurant tables.
🇮🇹 Dal 1867 non più fortezza: oggi sui bastioni ci sono i tavoli dei ristoranti.

The rampart walk on Alghero's sea walls, north-western Sardinia, on a clear summer day. Along the left run restaurant terraces: cream canvas umbrellas over laid tables, people sitting and eating, with ochre and pale-yellow townhouses, shuttered windows and wrought-iron street lamps rising behind them. The low sandstone parapet of the wall cuts diagonally across the frame from the bottom left, with people walking the promenade beside it. To the right, rocks and shallow blue sea below the wall; further along the shore a scarped stone bastion juts out into the water, with a strip of pebble beach at its foot.

🇬🇧 A trebuchet on Alghero's sea walls — looks medieval, but it went up in March 2011: a full-scale replica by local craftsmen.

🇮🇹 Sembra medievale, è del marzo 2011.

A full-scale wooden trebuchet standing on the stone paving of Alghero's sea bastions, north-western Sardinia. Two A-frame uprights carry a long pivoting beam; a heavy timber counterweight box hangs between them and a chain sling dangles from the raised tip of the beam. In the foreground on the right, four round stone balls sit in a rusted steel rack — the projectiles. Behind the machine runs the low sandstone parapet of the bastion, with people standing at it, and beyond that the sea. On the left horizon rises the flat-topped cliff of Capo Caccia; on the right, a breakwater and low hills. Clear blue sky. Photo: Petra Nesti / Pexels.

🇬🇧 25 April 1867: a decree ended Alghero's status as a fortress. The landward walls came down — the sea bastions became this promenade.

🇮🇹 Le mura di terra cadono, i bastioni restano.

The 16th-century sea bastions of Alghero, north-western Sardinia, at dusk. In the foreground a sandstone wall runs along the rocky shore with people walking on top of it, where the fortification was turned into a public promenade. Behind the wall rises the old town: the octagonal bell tower of Santa Maria cathedral on the left and the majolica dome of the church of San Michele on the right. The sea is grey-blue under a heavy cloud bank lit from below by the setting sun. Photo: Mauriz-79 / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0.

🇬🇧 Alghero's San Michele looks baroque, but its majolica dome is from around 1950 — Antoni Simon Mossa with Filippo Figari.

🇮🇹 San Michele sembra barocca, ma la cupola in maiolica è del 1950 circa.

Looking up at the majolica dome of the church of San Michele in the old town of Alghero, north-western Sardinia. The dome is clad in glazed scale-shaped tiles in green, yellow, blue, red and dark brown; above it stands an octagonal stone lantern with narrow windows, topped by a small tiled cupola and a weathervane in the shape of a fish. The church was rebuilt from 1612 by the Jesuits; the tiled covering dates from around 1950, credited to the architect Antoni Simon Mossa with the painter Filippo Figari.
