What to see in Sassari

The city is mainly modern but in the historic center it is possible to enter narrow streets from which it is possible to look at the ancient walls that surrounded the city and which were demolished in the 19th century together with the largest castle in Sardinia.
1. Cathedral of San Nicola, in Gothic style in the heart of the historic center with a large facade dating back to the 17th century in Spanish-Baroque style.
2. National Museum G.A. Sant'Anna, where it is possible to admire numerous ancient finds from Sassari and nearby Nuoro.
3. Corso Vittorio Emanuele II which divides the city into two parts: a mainly commercial district and a noble and contemplative southern area, entirely dedicated to spirituality where most of the churches are concentrated.
4. Cala dell'Argentiera and Porto Palmas
5. Porto Ferro beach, also reachable from Alghero, surrounded by a luxuriant pine forest in which there is also a fresh water basin known as the lake of Baratz.
6. Platamona beach which is characterized by its depth, a quality unknown to other Sardinian beaches due to the erosions which, in recent years, have been changing the territories. This beach is made even more special by the presence of dunes surrounded by the intense green of the pine forest as a background.
