Top pick for Sassari
If you’re an art lover, then Sassari will certainly keep you happy. The city boasts an excellent and extensive art collection from many periods, and has an array of fine galleries and museums where they can be seen. The University of Sassari is the oldest in Sardinia, and was founded in 1562. Just beyond what were the city walls stands the proud Romanesque façade of the eclectic Chiesa di Santa Maria di Betlem. The exterior betrays Gothic and even vaguely Oriental admixtures. Inside, the Catalan Gothic vaulting has been preserved, but much baroque silliness has crept in to obscure the original lines of the building. Lining each aisle in the chapels stand some of the giant 'candles' that the city guilds parade about town for the 14 August festivities.
