             Castelsardo : Sardinia’s Medieval Gem
 
A must-see during your holiday in Sardinia, 
Castelsardo is a charming village perched on an imposing cliff facing the Gulf of Asinara. Founded by the Doria family in 1102, this medieval center holds a strategic position between Stintino and Santa Teresa di Gallura and is listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy."
The journey to the village offers panoramic views, with the famous Elephant Rock serving as a popular photo stop. Once there, steep steps lead you to the historic center and its perfectly preserved fortress. The castle hosts the renowned Museum of Mediterranean Weaving, highlighting an ancient local tradition still practiced by women in the streets today.
The effort to reach the top is rewarded with breathtaking panoramic terraces, offering views of the entire northern Sardinian coast. Afterwards, explore the village's craft shops and fresh fish restaurants, perhaps enjoying a sunset aperitif to round off your visit.
