The city of the Candlebearers
Sassari, the capital of Capo di Sopra, developed from the merger of a number of separate villages, clearly recorded in the names of some of its monuments, such as San Pietro di Silki, San Giacomo di Taniga, San Giovanni di Boscove. The name of the town is first mentioned in an early register dating back to 1131, which came to light in the monastery of San Pietro in Silki.
The Monte Rosello QuarterThe Monte Rosello quarter lies beyond Piazza Mercato at the beginning of Via Pascoli, and is connected to the early nucleus of Sassari by a bridge called Ponte Littorio, inaugurated in 1934 and today known as Ponte Rosello.
The Porcellana QuarterThe Porcellana residential quarter started developing in the thirties in response to the need for extra housing caused by the population boom of those times.
Historic CentreThe original centre of the town of Sassari was once encircled by walls and gates dating back to the XII and XIV century. Today it extends around the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II which traces the route of the medieval Plata de Codinas.
