Urban Planning And New Towns In Medieval Sardinia 551
conceived during the early thirteenth century, while Terranova di Gallura
(Olbia) evidences urban theories adopted in new Tuscan cities from the end
of the thirteenth century onwards. This trend of new planning and growth af-
fected nearly all Sardinian cities up until the entrance of the Aragon Crown in
the early fourteenth century. The new leaders applied patterns of Catalonian
urbanism to the important renewal of Cagliari’s port neighborhood, as well as
in Alghero, and marked the Spanish domination of the island, which endured
until the eighteenth century.
