Located close to the most famous beaches in Sardinia, rich in traditions and history, Sassari welcomes the visitor with monuments and events that represent a pleasant moment of encounter with one of the most fascinating cities in the Sardinia.
Here are four good reasons to plan a holiday in this city now:
1) Admire the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, the main church of the city, built in the 13th century in Romanesque-Pisan style on the remains of a pre-existing early Christian church, still partially visible under the &# 39; apse; the current structure derives from a Gothic-Catalan renovation of the late fifteenth century, while the facade was completed in the 18th century in style baroque.
2) Stroll through the vast Park of Monserrato, on the north-western outskirts of the city, of great naturalistic value, historical and architectural, dating back to its original structure to the 17th century, splendid for the beauty of the buildings it houses and for the variety of vegetation present.
3) Contemplate the rich symbology of the Fountain of Rosello, often identified as a symbol of the city, made at the beginning of the seventeenth century in Renaissance style and surmounted by the equestrian statue of S. Gavino; the flow of time, is represented by the twelve mouths and the four statues depicting the seasons.
4) Attending, on 14 August, at the Festa Manna with the imposing Faradda di li candareri , a procession in which the representatives of the ancient medieval corporations carry on their shoulders the candlesticks richly adorned through the streets of the city, dancing to the rhythm of drums up at the church of St. Mary of Bethlehem.
