Not far away is the square where locals gather, youngsters skate, women gossip and men in pubs cheer on Serie A idols. Piazza Italia is the absolute hub of Sardinia’s second largest city.
A total of around 120,000 people live in Sassari. This is significantly more than in the better-known towns such as Alghero and Olbia. Sassari plays an important role in the history of Sardinia. Thus, Sassari was already in 1294 the first free city of Sardinia. Until the entry of Italy there were many rulers here, and all left their traces in the varied architectural townscape. Austrians as well as Pisans, even the Spanish, Genoese and Aragonese were in Sardinia and left their traces for eternity.
