Porto Torres Port Ferry Overview
Porto Torres, is a comune and city in northern Sardinia, in the Province of Sassari. It is situated on the north coast about 25 km east of the Gorditanian promontory, and on the spacious bay of the Golfo dell'Asinara. The existing port at Porto Torres, which is almost wholly artificial, is based in great part on Roman foundations; and there exist also the remains of a temple, of thermae, of a basilica and an aqueduct, as well as a bridge over the adjoining small river, still called the Fiume Turritano.
The Roman antiquities are certainly the city's main attraction, considered a pole of vital importance for Sardinian commerce and industry. The harbour – a modern construction - is quite visible from the Balai Beach, famous because it is home to the San Gavino Basilica, which rises on a cave dedicated to the saint.
The port is connected by ferries with Genoa, Marseille, Toulon, Barcelona, Civitavecchia and Propiano. Expressway SS131/E25 to Sassari and Cagliari, and a national road to Santa Teresa Gallura (SS200). |
