logo =The University of Cagliari ( _it. Università degli Studi di Cagliari) is a university located inCagliari ,Italy . It was founded in1620 and is organized in 11 Faculties.History
The "Studium Generalis Kalaritanum" was founded in
1606 along the lines of the old Spanish Universities of Salamanca, Valladolid and Lérida. It originally offeredLaw ,Latin , Greek andHebrew Literature, the Liberal Arts,Medicine ,Surgery ,Philosophy andScience . WhenSardinia passed under theHouse of Savoy government in the 18th century, the statute of the University was significantly modified, with the expansion of the science faculties and institutes. Designed by the Piedmontese engineer Saverio Belgrano di Famolasco, the new University building was completed at the end of the 18th century. Today it hosts the Rectorate and the administrative offices. The 19th and 20th centuries saw more and more emphasis placed on research activities, with the achievement of important, internationally acclaimed results, especially in the fields ofMedicine ,Physics ,Chemistry ,Biology andArchaeology . In the 20th century, problems arising from severe damage to University buildings during the Second World War had to be dealt with, and reconstruction is only just now approaching its final phase. At the end of the 1960s ambitious plans were advanced for Anglo-Saxon types of residential university structures in a single body.Today, the great dream has come true: a new University campus on the outskirts of town. The new campus is situated in
Monserrato , on an area of 73 hectares. It hosts the science faculties, many departments with their respective faculties, and one of the University general hospitals, adequately integrated with other medical institutions.Organization
