The bell tower and castle
01 July 2010
One of our reasons for visiting the town was to see its spectacular castle. Originally built in 1102 by the Genoese, the mediaeval town was called Castelgenovese. When the Aragonese got possession, they called it Castelaragonese. It was not until 1769 when the Kingdom of Savoy got control, that they felt secure enough to give it its present name.
The bell tower, originally the lighthouse, has this wonderful polychrome dome, unique in Sardinia.
