Archbishop’s seat is the city of Oristano, where the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is located. In addition to the cathedral, the archdiocese counts three other minor basilicas: the Basilica of Santa Maria a Bonarcado; The sanctuary basilica of Our Lady of the remedy in Oristano and the Basilica of Santa Giusta in Santa Giusta, an ancient cathedral of the homonymous diocese.

The territory extends over 3,112 km² and is divided into 85 parishes, 4 rectors (Donigala Fenughedu and San Quirico, hamlets of Oristano; Pardu Nou, a hamlet of Siamaggiore and Solarussa; and Santa Sofia, a hamlet of Laconi) and 2 chaplains (Cirras, hamlet of Santa Giusta; and Crastu, a hamlet of Laconi). The Archdiocese is territorially organized in an urban vicar (Oristano) and in 8 Foranie: Busachi, Cabras, Ghilarza, ISILI, Laconi, Milis, Santa Giusta and arise. [first]

The ecclesiastical province of Oristano includes only one suffrageganea, the diocese of Ales-Terralba, united In a person bishop to the Archdiocese from 3 July 2021.

The Archdiocese was erected in the 11th century in conjunction with the birth of the res judicata of Arborea and originates from the ancient diocese of Tharros of which there is news from the fifth century. Due to the Arab raids, the bishops and the inhabitants moved to Aristanis . The traditional thesis, established for the first time by Giovanni Francesco Fara (died in 1591) in his In Sardinia Chorographia , argues that this transfer of headquarters took place in 1070 at the time of Pope Alexander II; The studies conducted by Corrado Zedda and Raimondo Pinna postpone the birth of the Arborense archdiocese at the time of Pope Urban II, approximately around 1093. [2]

The Archdiocese is documented for the first time in a privilege protection [3] granted by Urban II to its archbishop, of which the name is not made. A second anonymous bishop is mentioned in a letter from Guglielmo, Archbishop of Cagliari, of 1118. The first known name of the Arborense time trial is that of Omodeo, who lived in the first half of the twelfth century, which took part in the foundation of the Camaldolese monastery of Santa Maria of Bonarcado, the first religious monastery founded in the archdiocese.

The ecclesiastical province of Oristano included three suffragan dioceses: Santa Giusta, Ales and Terralba.

On April 24, 1296, the shooting headquarters in Lebanon was united to the church of Oristano, after the latter had been conquered by the Mamelucchi. For about a century the Archbishops of Oristano added to their title that of shooting.

During the twelfth century, the Blessed Blesseds settled in San Giorgio di Bonarcado; In 1253 there are the first Franciscan foundations in Oristano.

The collaboration between the Archbishops and the judges Arborensi was close, and often, especially in the fourteenth century, the prelates performed the functions of the main councilors of the civil authority; Among these, Guido Cattaneo (1312-1339), Leonardo De Zori (1387-1389) and Elia De Palma (1414-1437) can be mentioned.

On December 8, 1503, as part of the reform of the Sardinian dioceses wanted by the Spanish Kings, new masters of the island, by virtue of the bubble Fair of Pope Julius II, the suppressed diocese of Santa Giusta was united to the Oristano headquarters.

In the post-tridentary period, in implementation of the decisions of the Council, the bishops distinguished themselves: Gerolamo Barbarà (1565-1571), which convened in 1566 the first diocesan synod; Antonio Canopolo (1588-1621), who founded the seminar for the theological formation of priests in Sassari, where twelve places were intended for the seminarians of Oristano; Francesco Masones Nin (1704-1717), who celebrated another diocesan Synod, committed himself to the foundation in the city of a second place of the archbishop’s seminary and started the restoration of the cathedral.

Due to the spread of malaria, which raged in Sardinia in the hottest periods of the year, the custom was widespread among the country priests, common to the whole island, to abandon the parishes to take refuge in healthy places, at the expense of the care of souls and normal pastoral activity; In 1720 out of 87 parishes of the archdiocese, 52 were administered by the so -called « Vicars to the nutum , ecclesiastics of poor culture that, accustomed to the climate of the area, managed the parishes on behalf of the owners, satisfying a small part of the income of the benefit “. [4] Malaria was certainly a real and devastating danger; The bishops Vincenzo Giovanni Vico-Torrellas (1741-1744) and Nicola Maurizio Fontana (1744-1746), who died at a young age, respectively 40 and 38 years old, were also expected.

Ludovico Emanuele Del Carretto (1746-1772) distinguished himself among the eighteenth century archbishops: he had a new seminar (because of the seminary already founded in Sassari from the canopolo and firmly in the hands of the Jesuits); Three times he made the pastoral visit of the Archdiocese; It was busy for the formation of the clergy through the establishment of mandatory conferences for priests, and founded in many country villages the frormatari mountains for the economic help of the peasants devoid of resources.

During the nineteenth century, due to the difficulties in relations between civil authorities and ecclesiastical authorities, the Archdiocese lived long moments of vacancies, for a total of about 25 years.

In 1924 the first Sardinian plenary council was celebrated in Oristano, and in 1931 a regional Eucharistic congress, both during the episcopate of Giorgio Maria Delrio (1920-1938).

On May 31, 1954, with the Apostolic Letter From this most blessed Pope Pius XII proclaimed the Blessed Virgin Mary of the remedy and Sant’Archelaus Patroni of the Archdiocese. [5]

In October 1985, the Archdiocese received Pope John Paul II on pastoral visit.

From 3 July 2021 it is united In a person bishop to the diocese of Ales-Terralba.

The periods of vacancies not exceeding 2 years or not historically ascertained are omitted.
