About this Alghero map poster
Alghero sits on the north-west coast of Sardinia, facing the open Mediterranean. Its historic centre occupies a small promontory enclosed by sea walls and bastions, and from above it reads as a dense, irregular knot of narrow lanes, sharply different from the straighter streets of the newer town that spreads north and east along the shore and around the harbour.
The town was taken by the Crown of Aragon in the fourteenth century and resettled with Catalans, and a local form of Catalan is still spoken there, which is why Alghero is sometimes called Barceloneta. Street signs appear in both Italian and Catalan. To the north-west, the coast curves around the bay of Porto Conte toward the cliffs of Capo Caccia and Neptune's Grotto.
An Alghero map poster shows the town's character with unusual clarity: the fortified old centre as a tight, defended shape, the harbour and marina beside it, and the long curve of the coast reaching away. It suits anyone who has walked the ramparts at sunset or spent summers on this stretch of Sardinia and wants a lasting record of it.

Harbour and marina
Directly beside the old town, the harbour's breakwaters and quays add strong straight lines to the map, framing boats and the waterfront.
Capo Caccia
North-west of town, the coastline wraps around Porto Conte bay to the high cliffs of Capo Caccia, home to the sea cave of Neptune's Grotto.
