Description

Porto Torres is a comune and city in northern Sardinia, in the Province of Sassari. It is situated on the north-west coast about 25 kilometres east of the Gorditanian promontory (Capo del Falcone), and on the spacious bay of the Gulf of Asinara. The ancient remains still existing prove that it must have been a considerable town under the Roman Empire. The existing port at Porto Torres, which is almost wholly artificial, is based in great part on Roman foundation and there exist also the remains of temple, of thermae, of a basilica and an aqueduct, as well as a bridge over the adjoining small river, still called the Fiume Turritano.
