Road trip Bosa - Porto Torres

The spectacular west coast of Sardegna.

Porto Torres, situated on Sardinia's northern coast, combines its role as a busy ferry port with layers of ancient history. The town's most notable ancient monument is the Basilica of San Gavino, one of Sardinia's oldest and largest Romanesque churches, whilst significant Roman ruins include well-preserved thermal baths and the Palazzo di Re Barbaro.
