The large commercial port of Porto Torres is situated on the N coast of the island of [[Sardinia]], 15 miles WSW of [[Castelsardo]] and 10 miles SE of the small harbour of [[Stintino]]. A man-made harbour dating back to Roman times, Porto Torres was once the most important port in Sardinia after [[Cagliari]]. Today it is a major centre for production of chemicals and an important transport hub for ferries to the S of France and Spain. The commercial harbour is unsuitable for yachts, but the smaller, eastern harbour, where the ferries berth, contains two small basins at its SE end which have been converted into marinas, the [[Marina di Porto Torres]] and [[Marina Cormorano]].
