Activity itinerary

Piazza d'Italia

Located just outside the medieval walls of Sassari’s historic center, Piazza d’Italia is one of Sardinia’s most striking squares, serving as the vibrant heart of the “Costa di Sopra.” At its center stands the statue of King Vittorio Emanuele II, sculpted by Giuseppe Sartorio and inaugurated in 1899 in the presence of the royal family. The square’s elegant paving and two grand palaces were designed by Eugenio Sironi and Giovanni Borgnini, and completed within four years, becoming iconic symbols of the city. This picturesque square offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and culture, making it a must-see for visitors exploring Sassari’s heritage.

Fountain of the Rosello

40m
Admission ticket included

The Fontana del Rosello in Sassari is one of the city’s most iconic historical landmarks, and it even lends its name to a district. This magnificent fountain symbolizes the passage of time, with twelve spouts representing the months and four statues embodying the seasons. Located just outside the ancient city walls near the bridge of the same name, it was built in the early 17th century in a late-Renaissance style. A must-see monument, it offers a unique glimpse into the city’s rich cultural and historical heritage.

Cattedrale di San Nicola

40m
Admission ticket included

The Cathedral of San Nicola in Sassari, the most significant church in Sardinia’s second-largest city, is a stunning blend of architectural styles and historical layers. Located in the heart of the historic center, where Sassari first developed, this basilica dates back to 1135 and became a cathedral in 1441. Its Gothic vaults, Baroque façade, and classical decorations reflect various reconstructions, including a 13th-century Romanesque rebuild. Beneath the apse, you can still see traces of the early Christian structure.
