Giuseppe Manno, the park's namesake, served as the President of the Senate of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
The garden is situated on the site of former defensive bastions that once protected the city from naval attacks.
The park provides one of the few concentrated areas of tall, mature palm trees within the city's high-density historic district.
Its positioning allows for a clear line of sight toward the distinctive vertical cliffs of Capo Caccia during sunset.
Giardini Giuseppe Manno is a public park located directly across from the historic sea walls of Alghero. The garden is named after Giuseppe Manno, a prominent 19th-century Sardinian magistrate, politician, and historian. The layout features paved walkways flanked by mature palm trees and Mediterranean vegetation. It serves as a transition space between the modern city streets and the medieval fortifications of the Alghero old town. The park includes designated seating areas that offer unobstructed views of the Capo Caccia headland and the Mediterranean Sea. It acts as a primary green lung for the central district of the city. The grounds are maintained by the local municipality as part of the public urban landscaping.

Visit during the golden hour to see the sunset reflecting off the historic sea walls.
Use the benches here as a resting point after walking the full length of the Alghero ramparts.
Combine this visit with a walk through the adjacent Porta a Mare area.
Do not mistake this for the larger public parks located in the outer residential suburbs; this is a small urban garden.
