Iglesiente

Languages spoken include Italian and Sardinian (Campidanesu).

[1] From this period dates the construction of the Temple of Antas at Fluminimaggiore, dedicated to the cult of the Sardus Pater.

In the Middle Ages, the Pisans founded here the mining town of Villa di Chiesa (modern Iglesias), which soon became one the largest in the island.

Later it was conquered by the Aragonese, who held it until 1720, when the house of Savoy acquired the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Recently, the decline of the mining sector has caused a crisis of the local economy.
