Forte della Maddalena, Alghero (must see)
Maddalena Fort is the only survivor of the original three forts built at this location. It was constructed in the 16th century and was dedicated to Mary Magdalene.

Today Maddalena Fort is used as a venue for summer events, jazz festivals and outdoor classical music concerts.
