Piazza Civica

Piazza Civica, Alghero’s most significant square, is framed by historic townhouses and palaces. The 16th-century facade of Palazzo Albis, where Charles V stayed in 1541 before his African campaign, stands as a prominent feature. Nearby, the ornate facades of Palazzo Serra and Palazzo Lavagna add to the square’s architectural richness. By day, visitors can stroll through the square, taking in the textures and colors of the historic buildings. As night falls, Piazza Civica transforms into a bustling center for dining and socializing, making it a lively focal point of the city.
