Appartamento In Vendita A Alghero

Historic residence in Palazzo De Ferrera Piazza Civica, Alghero

Alghero. Historic Center. In the most iconic spot in Alghero’s historic center, Piazza Civica, the heart of the old town overlooking the harbor and surrounded by Catalan architecture that tells its story, we offer for sale an elegant residence located within the prestigious Palazzo De Ferrera, one of the city’s most fascinating historic buildings.

Built in the 15th century, the palace represents a rare example of Catalan Gothic civil architecture. The façade, constructed of perfectly squared blocks of local sandstone, still retains the charm of the single- and double-lancet windows that characterized 15th-century Aragonese palaces. Over the centuries, it belonged to important families of the Catalan nobility and merchant bourgeoisie, including the De Ferrera family and later the Manca Guiso family, Marquises of Albis.

This place also houses an episode of great historical significance: in October 1541, the palace hosted Emperor Charles V, who arrived in Alghero with his fleet during the expedition against Algiers.

The apartment is located within this historic setting, on the second floor of a period building with a lift and spread over two levels.

The entrance leads to the living area consisting of a large, fully equipped living area, a dining room, a separate kitchen, and a bathroom with shower, spaces designed for comfortable, convivial living.

A comfortable internal staircase leads to the upper level where the sleeping area hosts two bedrooms and a second bathroom, ensuring well-distributed and private spaces.

The property has undergone a renovation that has included completely updated electrical and plumbing systems, while the double-glazed wooden window frames ensure excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

A charming property, ideal for those who want to live in the heart of Alghero, surrounded by the city’s historic architecture, just steps from the port and the ancient walls overlooking the sea.
