The town of Baddimanna is located on the northern outskirts of Sassari, adjacent to the Monte Rosello district and stretches eastwards over a hilly area, connecting to the hills of Filigheddu and Monti Bianchinu through a network of local roads. In the heart of Baddimanna there is the Park of the same name, which constitutes one of the largest green areas in the city: it extends for around ten hectares and is home to a pine forest, in which there are also other species such as mastic and various spontaneous flowers. Created about seventy years ago following a devastating fire, the Park has undergone progressive degradation which has made it less usable for the population; but in the 1920s the area was redeveloped, suitably equipped and made usable for citizens. The park named after Baden-Powell, founder of Scouting, is equipped with various picnic facilities with wooden tables and benches, waste collection baskets, children's games, a dog area and a cycle-pedestrian path; there is a kiosk bar and a restaurant. Furthermore, inside the park there is a monument dedicated to the soldiers of the Sassari Brigade. It is located in via Prati and the entrance time varies from 9am - 5pm to 9am - 9pm depending on the seasons.

It is the lounge square in the center of Sassari, large, elegant, bright, overlooked by important buildings such as the majestic Palazzo della Provincia and, opposite, the "Intesa San Paolo" bank in neo-Gothic style; in the center stands a monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, until recently surrounded by 4 palm trees. It is accessed by descending from the beautiful Via Roma, shaded by citrus trees, while continuing downhill on the opposite side, through a short arcaded street, you enter the adjacent Piazza Castello.
