Parishes of Iglesias diocese

The Diocese of Iglesias (Latin: Dioecesis Ecclesiensis) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Sardinia. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari.[1][2]

The Diocese of Sulci was an episcopal seat as early as the fifth century. After the city’s decline the bishop of Sulci took up his residence at the village of Tratalias.[3]

In 1503, the seat was officially moved to Iglesias.

In 1514, the Diocese was reunited with the Archdiocese of Cagliari.

In 1763, the diocese of Sulcis was re-established,[4] and Luigi Satta appointed bishop.[citation needed]

The cathedral of Iglesias (then Villa di Chiesa) was erected by the Pisans in 1285, but has been restored in later times.[5] The previous cathedral located in Tratalias was built in a Pisan Romanesque style between 1213 and 1282.
