Torre di San Giacomo

Torre di San Giacomo, an octagonal stone tower with Catalan architectural details, stands along Alghero’s 16th-century sea walls. This medieval watchtower, one of the few still remaining, overlooks the coastline and marks the convergence of the Bastion of Cristoforo Colombo and the Bastion of Marco Polo. Situated in one of the liveliest areas of the city’s waterfront, the tower offers a glimpse into the historical fortifications that once protected the town. Visitors can explore the tower and its surroundings, immersing themselves in the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of this coastal gem.
