A little bit of history.

Alghero was founded in 1102 when the Doria, from Genoa, decided to build a city-fortress with walls still visible today.

The predominant architectural style is Aragonese and Catalan as the city was colonised by Aragon. Under Spanish rules, Alghero experienced a great architectural and cultural development with the Catalan influences that still today are found in the dialect spoken in the city and in the architecture. This is why the city is also known as the Barceloneta of Sardinia.
