Oristano, Provincial capital in western Sardinia, Italy.
Located on the Campidano plain at 10 meters above sea level, Oristano extends across the central-western section of Sardinia with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea.
The city gained prominence in 1070 when it became a bishopric seat and later served as the capital of the Judicate of Arborea until 1420.
The St. Mary's Cathedral, constructed in 1130, and the Tower of Mariano II from 1290 represent the medieval architectural heritage of the city.
The central train station connects Oristano to major Sardinian ports, while regular bus services operate between the city and Cagliari Elmas Airport.
Every year during Carnival, the Sa Sartiglia tournament features riders on horseback attempting to spear suspended stars with their swords.
