Castelsardo:

This small Sardinia seaside centre is situated on the summit of a rocky promontory in a fortified position overlooking the port; for its location has been defined "Nest of Eagles". It's a rare and beautiful pearl set in the centre of Gulf of Asinara, with the characteristic bay of port of Frigiano with the Spanish Tower at its entrance.

History:
Castelsardo was founded by the Doria family of Genoa in 1101 - 1102; dating back to this period, the visitor can still see the castle named "Castel Genovese" . The main architecture of the Castel was represented by the "Cinta delle Muraglie", "Quartiere", "Palace of Nicoḷ", the little Church of Santa Maria, all still today in a discrete state of conservation.
In the interior of the castle, we find the weaving Museum which has an important collection of basketwork items made from palm fronds.

From 1448 it became a possession of the crown of Aragon and after that finally reached the name of Castelsardo.In the Spanish period the centre was enriched with gorgeous works of painting and sculpture. On the major altar of the Cathedral there is the famous "Madonna del Maestro di Castelsardo", one of most beautiful works of Sardinia painting history.

Traditions and culture
Castelsardo is a farming and fishing centre; particularly for lobsters, cooked according to typical Sardinia fishermen's recipes. The basket of Castelsardo is one of most appreciated works of Sardinia craft all over the world.

Maria delle Grazie" to come back in the same place: is the ceremony of "Lunissanti", that dates back to Middle Age and still today conserves all its ancient ritual.
