Alghero is a charming city located on the northwest coast of Sardinia, an island in the Mediterranean Sea. Known for its rich history, stunning beaches, and unique Catalan influence, Alghero offers a perfect blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty. The city's history dates back to the 10th century when it was founded by the Genoese Doria family. However, it was later conquered by the Catalan-Aragonese dynasty in the 14th century, which left a lasting impact on the city's architecture, language, and traditions. Today, Alghero is often referred to as "Little Barcelona" due to its strong Catalan identity.
