Oristano has been the provincial capital since 1974 and stands on the northern border of the Campidano plain near the Tirso estuary, at the centre of a sequence of lagoons filled to the brim with fish. The town originated in 1070, when the inhabitants of nearby Tharros migrated here after the Saracens had destroyed their town.
TorregrandeThe summer haunt of the locals from Oristano, during the summer, the seaside village of Torregrande shows all its charm as a tourist destination, with its seafront characterised by the numerous stalls of local and non-local craftsmen and women who display their products and paint the streets with music, colours and perfumes.
