The landscape around Aristanis is a low-lying reach of the Campidano plain near the Gulf of Oristano, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Known in Italian as Oristano, the city was the medieval capital of the Giudicato of Arborea, an independent Sardinian realm. Piazza Eleonora, named for its best-known ruler, remains a focal point of the historic centre, where the Tower of Mariano II recalls the town’s former defences. Each Carnival season, the Sartiglia brings costumed riders and traditional equestrian skill to the streets.
