Night Tour of Alghero + Coral Museum
Description
Join this night exploration of Alghero as you delve into the charm of the city's historic district after sunset, culminating in a delightful wine tasting.
Night Tour Overview
At the specified hour, we'll gather at the Piazza Porta Terra to embark on our captivating night tour of Alghero. Let the adventure begin!
Our journey will begin at the base of the Torre di Porta, which stands as the sole remaining piece of the ancient walls that once safeguarded the city from invasion. Next, our path leads us to the Forte della Maddalena, a 16th-century fortress named after the statue that was once housed within its bastion.
After crossing through Piazza Civica, we will arrive at Piazza del Duomo, where you can marvel at the stunning Cathedral of St. Mary the Immaculate from both its exterior and interior. The tour will continue through the Jewish Quarter, a historical enclave nestled within the city's ancient fortifications.
Next, we will visit the Coral Museum. This museum, located in a magnificent Art Nouveau villa, showcases the rich heritage and tradition of Alghero. Notably, the city has maintained a close relationship with the Mediterranean's red coral for centuries. The Corallium Rubrum now symbolizes the city, playing an essential role in its prosperity and renown.
To conclude our evening, we will indulge in a tasting of two local wines at a bistro within the historic core of the city. Cheers to a fantastic experience!
After approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, we will conclude our tour, returning to our original meeting point.
