Piazza Castello stands where the ancient Aragonese castle of Sassari once stood, now disappeared. The square represents an important crossroads between the historic center and the main city streets.

Via delle Muraglie is one of the most characteristic corners of the historic center. A narrow and evocative alley, with ochre-colored houses, authentic glimpses, and a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to slow down

Via delle Muraglie, parallel to Corso Trinità, is located in the historical center of the city along a section of the ancient walls, a stone's throw from the Mercato Civico, the Fontana del Rosello, and the church of the SS. Trinità. It takes its name from the medieval walls (some of which are still inhabited) that divide the narrow street from Corso Trinità and still bear the city's coat of arms at the top. Despite being located in a working-class neighborhood, thanks to the active involvement of the residents, it is a well-kept and picturesque corner. It consists of a narrow pavement (mainly for pedestrian use) bordered to the east by an internal section of the ancient city walls and to the west by low houses, interrupted here and there by alleys and small squares, where clothes hanging out to dry, multicolored flowers on balconies or on the ground, well-kept flowerbeds, and some trees or fountains stand out. Here you will also find the Palazzo della Frumentaria, a historical building in Sassari where a strategic reserve of wheat was stored until the 19th century to be used in case of famine or war; today it is home to a contemporary art gallery.

Small but charming cycle path along the Portotorres seafront. From the port, it goes up to the little church and the Balai beach passing through the city beaches of Scoglio Lungo and Acque Dolci. Acque Dolci is a free equipped beach: there are showers, bars, lifeguard service. Perfect for families, even if it is very crowded in summer.

Nice ride to do both on road bike and gravel, roads with little traffic with asphalt in good condition. You pass through small villages after being able to fill your water bottles or make a short stop at the bar to refresh yourself
