Roman Catholic Diocese of Iglesias

Roman Catholic Diocese of Iglesias

The Italian Catholic diocese of Iglesias is in Sardinia. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari.[1]

History

In 1323 Iglesias was taken after a long resistance by James II of Aragon, who thus began the conquest of all Sardinia. Sulci was an episcopal see as early as the seventh century. After its decline the bishop of Sulci took up his residence at the village of Tratalias[2]; in 1503 the see was reunited with that of Cagliari.

In 1763 the see was re-established, and Giovanni Ignazio Gautier appointed bishop. The cathedral was erected by the Pisans in 1285, but has been restored in later times.[3]
