The city of Alghero (population of about 45,000, rising to about 100,000 in summer) is situated in the North-West of the island on the Riviera del Corallo or Coral Riviera, and is sheltered by the stunningly beatiful headland of Capo Caccia. Choose Italian courses in Sardinia and learn about the city's historical origins that date back to the Genoans, who were the first to settle in the area around the present day port, directly in front of the bastions.
Here you will find different architectural styles, with a strong Catalan flavour, which makes the old town so picturesque: tiny churches and well-preserved buildings are found around every corner in its maze of colourful and lively side-streets.
