Corso Vittorio Emanuele II

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:04:37

The main drag through the centro storico (historic centre), Corso Vittorio Emanuele II follows the path of the ancient Roman road from Porto Torres to Cagliari. Little remains from its 13th-century heyday, but there are a few signs of past grandeur. At No 25, Palazzo Farris is a 15th-century townhouse currently being restored, whilst, a few metres up, the Casa di Re Enzo provides a remarkable Catalan Gothic setting for a clothes shop. Opposite, the Liberty-style Teatro Civico was a 19th-century addition.
