Porto Torres (Sardinia), Italy



Hide Ports

Porto Torres had its 15 minutes of fame during Roman times, leaving you with a treasure trove of ancient relics to discover. Visit Turris Libisonis to tour some of the island’s best-preserved Roman ruins and the archaeological museum to see artifacts unearthed as the modern city expanded around – and even on top of – the once crucial outpost. Gazing up at Basilica di San Gavino’s wooden ceiling, you’ll understand why one visitor compared it to a poem. Travel into the countryside to sip the island’s signature wines, or find the perfect spot on one of Sardinia’s beautiful beaches and drift off to the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore.
