The area of the Donoratico palace (D) and near the cathedral
dedicated to Santa Chiara (C). The Franciscans (F) settled near the
walls and controlled their own subdivision (from Cadinu, 2001) 539
19.17 Terranova di Gallura, detail of the 1739 plan of the new town (n. 2),
the last image with medieval walls. On the exterior: n. 1 San
Simplicio, numbers 3–4 Sant’Antonio and Santa Maria del Mare, n. 5:
the ruins of the Roman aqueduct, at the time more evident between
the Cabuabbas spring and the city. (State Archive of Turin, Sez.Riun.,
Uff. Gen Fin., Tipi (sez.II), Terranova, m.233) 541
19.18 Olbia cadaster, highlighted the service alleys inside the Terranova
blocks, drawn at the end of the thirteenth century (Ufficio Tecnico
Erariale, Cessato Catasto, Sassari province, Terranova, detail, about
1920) 542
19.19 Olbia, reconstructed hypothesis of the new Pisan city (post 1296-
ante 1305), which incorporates a Roman road (a-a’) in its plan.
San Simplicio Cathedral (11th century, 1); the new medieval port is
guarded by the churches dedicated to Sant’Antonio (3) and Madonna
del Mare (4). A Roman port with piers and wreckage is filled for the
occasion with other medieval shipwrecks (in grey) useful for the
formation of a new coastline (particulars of the shipwrecks from
D’Oriano, 2002, p. 1256; Cadinu and Pinna, 2015, Table 7) 543
19.20 The “Pianta della città di Cagliari e dei suoi borghi” (plan of the
city of Cagliari and its hamlets) shows the city at the end of the
eighteenth century. Except for the walls and some external
expansions the medieval structure is preserved intact. (State Archive
of Turin, Carte top. segrete, Oristano, 42.A.I rosso) 546
19.21 The first core of Alghero on the promontory of the “Castello”
(top left), in the late Middle Ages seat of the judería of the city,
is profoundly renovated after the sixteenth century with the
implantation of the Jesuit church of Santa Croce and the
homonymous street (dotted). The Piazza Civica (D), near the Porta
al Mare and the harbor (E), houses the main public and private
buildings. The complex of San Francesco (F) is likely the origin of the
subdivision at regular blocks (solid line), which saturates the areas
adjacent to the first group, distinguished by curvilinear paths (gray
dashed line). The great restoration undertaken by the Aragonese
after 1354 develops around the Piazza del Bisbe (Carra Real, A), with
the new alleys laid between religious elements (black dashed line):
in evidence the system of main streets, Carrer de Bonaire (aa), C. del
Carmen (bb), Mayor C. (cc), and the road junction called les quatre
