History of Sardinia

car rental sardinia due to its geographical position was once a major harbor with its many ports like Bosa, Tharros, Canalis, Sulcis, Olibia, Bithia and Nora where the Phoenicians spent the night when sailing through the Mediterranean Sea to reach the coastal areas of Africa and Europe. Soon, Phoenicians turned the place into a colony. They spent half a millennium on the island till they get attacked by the Sardinians, but the Phoenicians called for support from the mother city Carthage. After the establishment of their rule in Sardinia, the civilization of the Carthagians flourished on the island.

The ‘’barbarians’’  as the Romans called them, were defeated but not conquered by the Roman Empire in 238 BC, and surrendered Sardinia to the Empire. Sardinia remains an autonomous region of Italy till nowadays.

Sardinia was under Roman occupation until the Vandals came to conquer the island. They stayed for 70 years till they get overrun by the Byzantine army. Sardinia’s geographical spot is very strategic so it was also a hotspot for intrusions and attempts to conquer it, and also suffered from numerous pirate raids through the course of its history. Sardinia would observe, if one may say, rulers substituting all the time till it joins Italy.  In 1848, Sardinia’s kings led the Italian Army for the unification of Italy and independence from the French occupation who were there since the Napoleonic Wars in Italy. Eventually, in 1861 Sardinia joined the independent Kingdom of Italy.

After the WWII and the defeat of fascism as a political state, Italy became a republic. Sardinia was declared an autonomous region of Italy
