  • Experience the history of Sardinia with a walking tour of Porto Torres among cultural sites and views of the Gulf of Asinara

  • Visit the city's main archaeological sites admiring the Roman remains of Turris Libisonis and glimpses of the historic center

  • Discover the charm of the medieval Basilica of San Gavino and its cumbessias, ancient pilgrims' quarters

Discover Porto Torres with a guided walk of about 3 hours that crosses history, archeology and breathtaking views of the Gulf of Asinara. A walking itinerary that combines the charm of the sea with the richness of the cultural heritage, along a path that develops between the historic center and sites of great historical and religious value. It starts from the suggestive Aragonese Tower and then continues along the waterfront, crossing a panoramic pedestrian area that offers spectacular views of the Renaredda, Scoglio Lungo and Acque Dolci beaches. The route offers incredible views of the open sea and, on clear days, even on the coast of Corsica. The walk leads to Balai beach and its church dedicated to the Holy Turritan Martyrs, and then returns to the city center, where important historical testimonies such as the Roman archaeological area of Turris Libisonis are found. The route continues through historic buildings and symbolic places such as the Consolata Church, the Palazzo del Marquis and the San Gavino Park, until it reaches the majestic Basilica of San Gavino, one of the most important examples of Romanesque architecture in Sardinia. Join this incredible journey through time to learn about Sardinia through its history and traditions!
  • The tour runs with a minimum of 5 people; if this number is not reached, you will be offered an alternative date or a refund.
  • The entrance fee to the sites is not included, so the visit is optional. If you do not wish to enter the sites, an external tour will still be conducted, including an explanation of the history of the area.
  • Should the Turris Libisonis site be closed, we will visit the catacombs or the Port Museum.
