The Holy Week rituals in Alghero (Setmana Santa de l'Alguer) are among the most striking in Sardinia and are characterised by a strong Catalan influence.

The Good Friday procession, this year on March 30th, is heartfelt by young and old when hundreds of people walk in the streets of Alghero carrying candles and praying.
