Castelsardo on the NW coast of Sardinia was founded by the Genoese in the 12th century and the castle and mediaeval street layout date from this period. Its conspicuous Cathedral of Sant'Antonio Abate dates from the 17th century. The town is an important centre of basket-weaving as well as hosting a small fishing fleet. The marina of Castelsardo is about a mile SW of the town.
