Castelsardo - Sardinia from a picture book In the northwest of the island of Sardinia, Castelsardo sits high above the coast - a town straight out of a picture book. It envelops its visitors with all its charm, supported by old fortress walls and colorful houses. Castelsardo is part of the association of the most beautiful places in Italy, I borghi più belli d'Italia - and not without reason!

Compared to the pretty historic center of Castelsardo, this square somehow seems too modern and cool. But if you want to go up to the old town, there is almost no way around it.

Castelsardo is a fascinating medieval village. Visiting the historic center under the fortress is certainly worth it, even if the climb up the stairs can be a bit tiring. The town, traditionally fishermen, is known for the art of basket weaving. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the hamlet at the top of the hill in the distance.

The Elephant Rock (Italian Roccia dell'elefante) is a weathered, approximately 5 meter high boulder that, when viewed from a suitable angle, resembles an elephant. It is a tourist attraction in Sardinia and is located about 5 kilometers southeast of Castelsardo in the metropolitan city of Sassari. The bizarre rock was already a place of worship during Nuraghic times (around 1800–750 BC). The ancient Sardinians carved small niches into the rock in which they buried their dead in ash urns.

At the end of November we were able to observe thousands of starlings that have their sleeping quarters here at the level of the old school. A month later, at the end of December, they are no longer there. There was a lot going on in the square on New Year's Eve and on the public holiday of January 6th. From here you can go in all directions, up to the castle and several restaurants and bars can be reached from here. There is also a tourist office here, where we were well informed in English.
