The tower got its name from a marble elephant statue above the gate. How could it be otherwise: From the tower, you can also enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Cagliari and Sardinia. The price for this view is almost 120 steps.

It's definitely worth a visit, but the paths are difficult, so you shouldn't be a beginner. The wind there is refreshing, though.

The tower has a circular floor plan and consists of two large sections connected by a staircase carved into the thick surrounding wall. In 1412, the women of Alghero heroically defended this tower against an attack by the troops of the Viscount of Narbonne. In the 19th century, it became known as the Torre di Sulis after the Cagliari notary Vincenzo Sulis. He was imprisoned there from 1799 to 1821 for conspiracy and treason. The tower and the adjacent piazza have been a popular meeting place for years.
