The best road cycling routes around Stagno di Platamona

Shortly after the inhabited area of Sennori, near the municipal sports field, you will find the junction: to the right you take the ring road that leads back towards the road to Sassari; going straight on, downhill, you head towards Osilo or the Gulf of Asinara.

In the historic center of Sorso is this recently renovated and pedestrianized square. Together with the adjacent Piazza Garibaldi, they form a public space with a beautiful aesthetic impact, near the town hall. The Church of Beata Vergine d'Itria (17th century) forms the backdrop to the square.

Section of the cycle path that will connect Sassari to Platamona through Li Punti. As of August 2026, the cycle path is under construction. Starting from Platamona, the section that runs along the Platamona airfield is on its own path (very beautiful, practically completed); then, towards Sassari, a section shared with ordinary traffic, separated by lines. The cycle path then leaves the Platamona Municipal Road and enters more peripheral roads (Strada Giagumona); it should then continue on country roads towards Li Punti and then towards Sassari.

The Fontana di Rosello is the most emblematic monument of Sassari and one of the historical symbols of Sardinia. Built between 1603 and 1606 by Genoese masters in the late Renaissance style, it stands on an ancient spring used since Roman times to supply water to the city and the nearby port of Turris Libisonis (modern-day Porto Torres). Its most striking feature is the twelve mouths from which water gushes, representing the months of the year, and the four allegorical statues of the seasons, symbolizing the incessant passage of time. For centuries it was the main water supply point for the inhabitants of Sassari and today it is one of the most photographed and representative monuments of the city.

Sassari station is the main railway hub of northern Sardinia and a strategic point for cyclists. From here, connections depart to various locations on the island, making it easy to combine train and bike to explore the territory. The surrounding area offers useful services, refreshment points, and convenient access to the city's historic center.

Via delle Muraglie is one of the most characteristic corners of the historic center. A narrow and evocative alley, with ochre-colored houses, authentic glimpses, and a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to slow down

Via delle Muraglie, parallel to Corso Trinità, is located in the historical center of the city along a section of the ancient walls, a stone's throw from the Mercato Civico, the Fontana del Rosello, and the church of the SS. Trinità. It takes its name from the medieval walls (some of which are still inhabited) that divide the narrow street from Corso Trinità and still bear the city's coat of arms at the top. Despite being located in a working-class neighborhood, thanks to the active involvement of the residents, it is a well-kept and picturesque corner. It consists of a narrow pavement (mainly for pedestrian use) bordered to the east by an internal section of the ancient city walls and to the west by low houses, interrupted here and there by alleys and small squares, where clothes hanging out to dry, multicolored flowers on balconies or on the ground, well-kept flowerbeds, and some trees or fountains stand out. Here you will also find the Palazzo della Frumentaria, a historical building in Sassari where a strategic reserve of wheat was stored until the 19th century to be used in case of famine or war; today it is home to a contemporary art gallery.

Sassari is the second largest city in Sardinia. It was founded by the Phoenicians and has experienced various cultural influences over the centuries. This is reflected in the architecture and cultural heritage of the city. It is definitely worth a visit.
