The chief town of the island, Cagliari
is in the southern part of Sardinia,
in the gulf Degli Angeli, at the end
of Campidano plain, between the sea,
Montelargius and Santa Gilla's ponds,
and some hills, like "Su Casteddu"
(the castle).
Probably founded by the Phoenicians.
As we can see from its former name:
Karalis or Karales, it became an important
maritime and commercial town under the
Carthaginian domination. Taken by the
count Tiberio Gracco in 238 b. C., Cagliari
went through a very prosperous period,
and it became, at first, a municipality,
and then seat of the bishop's palace.
With the fall of the Roman Empire the
population moved towards the inland,
in order to take shelter from the barbarian
invasions. Under the Byzantine domination
Cagliari, that had become the chief
town of the island, was in a state of
neglect, and the inhabitants moved to
Santa Igia. In those years the attempts
to conquer it were innumerable, but
always a failure, thanks to the help
from the maritime republics of Pisa
and Genova; and just the Pisans and
the Genoveses competed for the supremacy
in Sardinia.
In the XI century Cagliari became the
chief town of the homonym period of
development. In those years the fortified
town of Castrum Kalaris was built, with
the new quarters of Marina, Stampace
and Villanova, and Cagliari became one
of the main cities in the Mediterranean
Sea, with a lively artistic flourishing.
In 1324 Cagliari passed under the Aragonese
domination, and Peter I of Aragona made
it the seat of the first parliament;
later it was involved in the war between
the Aragoneses and the Judges from Arborea.
During the Spanish domination, the island
of Sardinia and its chief town went
through a very difficult period; but
with the coming of the Savoy, Cagliari
was made residence of the viceroy, until
in 1794, when the royal family was expelled
and the viceroy killed.
With the coming of the peace, in 1862,
the walls were knocked down. During
the Second World War, many buildings
were wrecked by the bombardments. Since
1949 Cagliari has been the chief town
of the Sardinian Autonomous Region.
