Alghero Punta Negra beach is the most characteristic tourist resort on the Coral Riviera, a littoral made up of solitary creeks, of small bays with white sandy beaches all crowned by thick forests and high cliffs which tower over an emerald-green sea. The mild climate, the crystal-clear water, the delicate scents of the Mediterranean vegetation invite the tourist to spend a pleasant and relaxing holiday. The historical centre is one of the most interesting in Sardinia: its origins can be traced back to about 1300. The imposing town walls, the refined historical palaces, the old churches - together with the dialect and the local traditions - are all remainders of the Catalan civilization. A visit to the old town can start from the harbour, dominated by the Maddalena Tower and the eponymous bastion. It is through the Porta a Mare that you can get directly into the heart of the town, namely the Piazza Civica (Main Square).
