Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Alghero (l'Alguer [l?l'?e] in Catalan and S'Alighèra in Sardinian), is a town of about 42,000 inhabitants (down from 54,300 inhabitants since early 20th century) in Italy. It lies in the province of Sassari in northwestern Sardinia, next to the sea.

The area of today's Alghero was settled since pre-historical times. The so-called Ozieri culture was present here in the 4th millennium BCE while the Nuraghe civilisation was present from around 1500 BC for, and traces of, Phoenician buildings have been found not far from the city.

Due to its strategic position in the Mediterranean Sea, Alghero was born around a fortified port, founded around 1102 by the Genoese Doria family. The Doria ruled it for centuries, apart from a brief period under the rule of Pisa (1283-1284). In 1353 it was captured by the Aragonese under Bernardo de Cabrera, and could later grow thanks to the arrival of Catalan colonists in the early 16th century Alghero received the status of King's City (ciutat de l'Alguer) and developed economically.

The Catalano-Aragonese were followed by the Habsburgs Spain, whose dominion, ended in 1702, brought some decadence to the city. In 1720 Alghero and Sardinia were handed over to the Piedmont based House of Savoy. Around 1750 a wide channel was excavated to improve the defensive stand of the peninsula. In 1821 famine led to a revolt of the population, which was bloodily suppressed. At the end of the same century Alghero was de-militarized and, during the Fascist era, part of the surrounding marshes was reclaimed and the suburbs of Fertilia and S.M. La Palma were founded, although the presence of malaria in the countryside was finally overcome in the 1950s. During World War II (1943) Alghero was bombed, and its historical centre suffered heavy damage.

1. Beaches and Backpacking in Mallorca
June 01, 2009

The Balleric island of Mallorca is a sun, sea and sand type of place, with more than the odd thumping party thrown into the mix.

One of the reasons behind the increasing popularity of Mallorca among backpackers is the island’s flourishing hostel scene. From Palma de Mallorca hostel to budget accommodation in Cala Figuera, there are now plenty of affordable (and exceptionally pleasant) places to s... (read more)

May 28, 2009

Among those in the know, the Sardinian town of Alghero is often referred to as ‘Little Barcelona’. While this beautiful town is to be found in Italy, its cultural roots are very much of the Catalonian variety – it was ruled for around three centuries by invaders from Northern Spain. The result is a magnificent place that mixes a fully Mediterranean climate with alluring architecture and more than the odd stupendously excellent beach. Backpackers will also be delighted to hear that with its range of cheap eating options and affordable hostels Alghero is easily experienced on a tight bud... (read more)

4. Chocked Tentacle in Alghero, Sardinia
February 16, 2009

It’s a pleasant thirty minutes ride from Sassari, where we were staying, to the seaside gem of Alghero on the famous "Little Green Train" (Trenino Verde). This popular narrow gauge railroad serves Sardinia and dates back to 1888. In 1921, author D.H. Lawrence said of Trenino Verde, "It's a strange railway. It shoots up hills and down into valleys and races around sudden curves with the greatest nonchalance..." Though we would have to leave the leg of the railroad that D.H. spoke of for a future trip, we were able to get our train fix with the shorter jaunt to Alghero. Upon arrival, we wal... (read more)
