Sanluri is a comune in Sardinia, Italy. It became the capital of the Province of South Sardinia, following the creation of that local unit in 2005. The territory of Sanluri comprises an area of 84.16 square kilometres.
Of 88 medieval Sardinian castles, this is the only one that is still habitable and now a fascinating museum, with forms dating back to the middle of the 14th century. The castle, known as the castle of Eleonora d' Arborea, even though it is uncertain whether or not this judge ever stayed there, is located in Sanluri in the Medio Campidano province, 50 kilometres from Cagliari. The first building of the castle took place in the 12th century, in the Giudicati period, as a strategic stronghold on the border between the Giudicati (independent states) of Cagliari and Arborea. Later on, Sanluri was the centre of struggles between the Aragonese Crown and the Giudicato of Arborea. According to a document dating back to 1355, Peter IV of Aragon wanted the fortification – that was completed in just 27 days - of the castle, which, in 1409, was the scene of a bloody and decisive encounter between the troops of Arborea and the Spanish troops, who conquered the fortified residence for good. The military function vanished to become a dwelling, the property of several Spanish noble families: De Sena, Henriquez, Aymerich and, lastly, in 1920, the Villa Santa family, who are the current owners.
You will be struck by the mighty quadrangular building, with 26-metre sides, and the four crenellated towers in the corners, joined to each other by walls that are 12 metres high and two metres thick. From the entrance, you will enter the cour d'honneur, where a spectacular flight of steps leads to the first floor of the building. There are numerous fascinating rooms: the study of the General Count Nino Villasanta, where you will find his correspondence with Gabriele D'Annunzio, the Gondi rooms and the hunting room and room of the queens, with renaissance décor. On the ground floor, there is the room of the militia, in memory of the Sardinian soldiers who fell during the First World War, where you can admire arms, armour and flags donated to the count by Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, among which the tricolour flag of Victory, which flew in 1918 in Trieste for the transition to Italy.
In the 20th century, General Villasanta renovated the fortress and set it up as a residence-museum. The work was continued by his sons. Today, the castle is divided into four museum spaces. Two of them contain relics and documents from the world wars, African campaigns and fascism. The third contains an interesting collection of approximately 350 artistic wax models, which range from the Florentine Renaissance to the early nineteenth century, works created from coloured waxes, representing the greatest collection of its kind in Europe. The fourth section of the museum identifies with the feudal district, with furnishings, paintings and sculptures created between the 16th and 19th centuries.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Sardinia ( sar-DIN-ee-ə; Italian: Sardegna [sarˈdeɲɲa], Sardinian: Sardìgna/Sardìnnia [saɾˈdiɲɲa]/[saɾˈdinja], Sassarese: Sardhigna, Gallurese: Saldigna, Catalan: Sardenya, Tabarchino: Sardegna) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily and before Cyprus). It is located west of the Italian Peninsula and to the immediate south of the French island of Corsica.
Sardinia is politically a region of Italy, whose official name is Regione Autonoma della Sardegna / Regione Autònoma de Sardigna (Autonomous Region of Sardinia), and enjoys some degree of domestic autonomy granted by a specific Statute. It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city, with Cagliari being the region's capital and its largest city as well. Sardinia's indigenous language and the other minority languages (Sassarese, Corsican Gallurese, Algherese Catalan and Ligurian Tabarchino) spoken on the island are recognized by the regional law and enjoy equal dignity with Italian.Due to the variety of its ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, largely uninhabited territories, streams, rocky coasts and long sandy beaches, the island has been defined metaphorically as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have exalted its beauty, remained untouched until the contemporary age and immersed in a landscape that houses the vestiges of the Nuragic civilization.
