Castelsardo
Castelsardo is a picturesque medieval town. Founded in 1102 by the Doria family from Genoa, Castelsardo boasts a well-preserved castle, which now is a museum.
The town's narrow, winding streets are lined with colourful houses and offer a glimpse into its rich past.
When you up, the views on surrounding landscapes are stunning.
Castle
The castle, with a little entry fee, houses a museum showcasing Castelsardo's traditional weaving. The true highlight, however, is the panoramic view.
On the way
There's a bar with a view you'll come across. I haven't had the chance to visit, but the view from there seems absolutely spectacular.
Elephant Rock, shaped by wind and erosion over centuries
Inside there are ancient "houses of the fairies," which are pre-Nuragic tombs carved into the rock, adding an intriguing layer of history to this natural landmark.
The View on Castelsardo from La Ciaccia
The village is not particularly remarkable. What I find captivating, though, is viewing it from a distance. Each time I take an evening hike along the coast, I enjoy seeing the silluhete of it, and the sunset behind.
