Places to see in ( Sardinia - Italy ) Oristano
Oristano is an Italian city and comune, and capital of the Province of Oristano in the central-western part of the island of Sardinia. It is located on the northern part of the Campidano plain. It was established as the provincial capital on 16 July 1974. As of December 2010, the city had 32,165 inhabitants. The economy of Oristano is based mainly on services, agriculture, tourism and small industries.
Oristano was previously known by the Byzantines as Aristanis (in Byzantine Greek: Αριστάνις), and founded close to the ancient Phoenician settlement of Othoca (now Santa Giusta). It acquired importance in 1070, when, as a result of the frequent Saracen attacks, Archbishop Torcotorio made it the seat of the bishopric, which was previously in the nearby coastal town of Tharros. It also became the capital of the giudicato (judiciary, equivalent to a Duchy or Kingdom) of Arborea. Consequently, fortifications were designed, but the building thereof went on until judge Mariano II rose to power.
In medieval times Oristano vied for power over the whole island of Sardinia, and therefore waged wars against the other Sardinian kingdoms which culminated in the attempt to conquer the whole island during the reign (1347–75) of Mariano IV and that of his son Hugh III (1376–1383) and his daughter Eleanor (1383–1404). The giudicato of Arborea held out to be the last Sardinian kingdom (Giudicato) to cease to exist in 1420, about 10 years after the battle of Sanluri. It was transformed in Marchesato by the Aragonese and conquered, following a revolt by the last marquess Leonardo Alagon, by the Catalan troops of the Kingdom of Aragon, in 1478 after the battle of Macomer.
Thereafter, Oristano's history was that of the island of Sardinia, characterised by the Aragonese-Spanish (until 1708) and Piedmontese (from 1720) dominations, and then the unification of Italy. In April 1921, David Cova, Emilio Lussu, Camillo Bellieni and other Sardinian veterans of World War I founded in the city the Sardinian Action Party.
The Tower of St. Christophoros, otherwise known as Tower of Mariano II, was built in 1290, is 19 metres (62 ft) tall and the most striking remaining evidence of the old walls built at the time of the Giudicato, as it was one of the main gates thereof.
St. Mary's Cathedral (1130) was rebuilt during the reign of Mariano II after being destroyed in a siege. Of the original structure of Mariano, only parts of the apse and base of the campanile are left, as well as the Gothic Chapel of the Rimedio, which houses some medieval sculptures.
Oristano can be reached by train from Sardinia's ports of Olbia and Porto Torres, and the island's main cities Cagliari and Sassari. From Oristano all villages of the province can be reached by buses departing the bus station close to centrally-located Piazza Mannu. Moreover, a private concern provides a twice-daily bus service to and from Cagliari Elmas Airport. The journey takes approximately 2 hours.

Places to see in ( Sardinia - Italy ) Barumini
Barumini is a comune in the Province of South Sardinia in the Italian region of Sardinia, located about 50 kilometres north of Cagliari and about 15 kilometres northeast of Sanluri. Barumini borders the following municipalities: Gergei, Gesturi, Las Plassas, Tuili, Villanovafranca. It is home to Su Nuraxi di Barumini, a Nuraghe complex listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
At the center of the Marmilla , in the valley of the river Mannu , at the foot of the Giara , there is a special atmosphere: since prehistoric times Barumini was the main center of a very rich territory, today, populated by about one thousand and 300 inhabitants, it is one of the of the island's most fascinating culture. At the entrance of the town stands a monumental complex that made it famous in the world: on Nuraxi, the only archaeological site in Sardinia declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (1997).
Not only the most impressive (and best preserved) of the thirty nuraghic sites nearby, but above all the most precious legacy that the Nuragic civilization has left us. The archaeological excavations were conducted in the mid-twentieth century by Giovanni Lilliu. The 'father' of Sardinian archaeologists has been named the cultural center a few steps from the nuraghe, where events, concerts and exhibitions (permanent and temporary) of archeology and crafts alternate in an inimitable scenario. Su Nuraxi, entirely made of blocks of basalt, has a stratification of two thousand years, from the sixteenth to the seventh century AD It is a complex nuraghe, consisting of a bastion with a central tower (18 meters high) and four corners, and around a labyrinth of 50 huts (dating back to the Bronze Age), wells and cisterns.
The prehistoric origins of Barumini are also witnessed by another trilobed nuraghe, in the center of the village, dating back to the XVI century BC, the Nuraxi and 'Cresia (' church nuraghe ') come to light during the restoration of Casa Zapata, splendid residence of Aragonese barons (arrived in Sardinia in 1323), built in the middle of 1500, rare example of Hispanic civil architecture of Renaissance inspiration. Since 2006, the noble palace, together with garden and courtyard, are home to a museum pole, which houses two towers of the nuragic monument, visible from above thanks to suspended walkways and transparent floors. In the archaeological section of the museum (managed by the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation), 180 artefacts found in nearby Nuraxi are on display .

Circolo Nautico i Delfini San Lorenzo al mare presentazione della bandiera distintiva
San Lorenzo al Mare il Circolo Nautico i Delfini, che gestisce il punto di ormeggio di capo san lorenzo, meglio conosciuto come il vecchio porto o porto dei pescatori, ha presentato oggi la sua nuova bandiera distintiva. Praticamente ogni Yacht Club possiede un suo Guidone (Burgee) personalizzato che identifica le imbarcazioni membre del club nautico. L'etichetta nautica vuole che le imbarcazioni moderne issino il Guidone (Burgee) ad un livello inferiore rispetto all'albero maestro oppure a prua o a poppa, mentre per le imbarcazioni antiche e d'epoca il Guidone (Burgee) può sventolare anche dall'albero maestro in posizione elevata. Le imbarcazioni a motore devono sventolare il Burgee in posizione ribassata rispetto alla bandiera nazionale. Il Burgee può sventolare sempre, in porto e in movimento, di giorno e di notte, ma non durante una regata e una competizione a meno che non sia espressamente consentito.
Nato nel lontano 1982 il Circolo Nautico i Delfini gestisce per conto del amministrazione comunale di San Lorenzo al Mare dal 1998 il vecchio porto. Sono 34 i soci iscritti ci dice il presidente Natalino Garibaldi ma in pratica sono una cinquantina di persone che si occupano in maniera volontaria della conduzione e della pulizia del porto, ed ogni anno vengono organizzate vari manifestazioni,
quest'anno il 10 agosto verrà organizzata una gara di pesca .
