Tortoĺ a very old village, famous
for cork and vases, is the co-capital of the Province of Ogliastra with
Lanusei. |
|
 Tortoĺ
is situated on the eastern coast of Sardinia. Its port Arbatax and an
airport connect it to Italy and the European continent. To the north of it
is Girasole and Lotzorai, to the west Villagrande Strisaili and Ilbono, and
to the south Barisardo. To the east of the town is the Mediterrenean Sea. |

Vandals, Unayyad and Spanish. It was part of the kingdom of
Cagliari
during the 12th century. The town was the head of the County of Quirra.
