Also Alghero was founded by the Ligurians in the 12th century, the Doria, a genoese family were the founders of the city. Only in the 15-16th century the town was conquered by the Crown of Aragon, and many catalans settled there, as happened in many other places of the island, in particular in the 7 Città Regie , the royal towns directly ruled by the emperor of Spain, (castelsardo, sassari, alghero, bosa, oristano, cagliari and iglesias), but only in Alghero the catalan language survived.
Today the most spoken language in Alghero, after the italian is the logudorese, not the catalan. In the municipality of Alghero, in some hamlets like Fertilia and Maristella is even spoken the venetian, the istriot and the dalmatian.
The fake sardinian member that is writing here probably didn't know the complete history of Alghero, he didn't find too much infos in his native language about this town.

There was a show here several years ago with a guy showing words from different areas of the Catalanosphere. It was not a serious linguistic program but one for a general audience. This is from the one dedicated to L'Alguer and there are several interesting moments. One can hear the many metathesis in Algherese and how the young people seem to understand it but not speak it at all. From what the barber said, apparently Catalan in L'Alguer was associated with the poor, so no wonder.
