Bastione della Maddalena

The Bastione della Maddalena is a historic defensive bastion perched at the edge of Alghero's marina, where the old city walls meet the open sea. The views from here are genuinely stunning — you get sweeping panoramas of the coastline and the harbor all at once, wrapped in that golden Sardinian light. It's one of those spots where the history and the scenery hit you at the same time, making it worth a stop even if you're just passing through.
