Roman Catholic Diocese of Iglesias

1

The Diocese of Iglesias is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Sardinia. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari.

History

The Diocese of Sulci was an episcopal seat as early as the seventh century. After its decline the bishop of Sulci took up his residence at the village of Tratalias. In 1503, the seat was officially moved to Iglesias but, in 1514, the Diocese was reunited with the Archdiocese of Cagliari. In 1763, the see was re-established, and Luigi Satta appointed bishop. The cathedral of Iglesias (then Villa di Chiesa) was erected by the Pisans in 1285, but has been restored in later times. The previous cathedral located in Tratalias was built in a Pisan Romanesque style between 1213 and 1282.
