Logudoro in the context of Monte Santo (Siligo)

⭐ Core Definition: Logudoro

The Logudoro (pronounced [loɣuˈðɔɾɔ]; lit. 'Golden Place') is a large historical region Sardinia, Italy. It is the namesake of the Logudorese dialect of Sardinian, which covers a large area of northern-central Sardinia.

The first denomination of the area is contained in a 1064 document on behalf of Barisone, who requested a foundation of a monastery in his Kingdom of Ore (in renno, quo dicitur ore). The current name is thought to have originated from corrupt blending of the kingdom's alternative name Logu de Torres.

Logudoro in the context of Giudicato of Torres

The Judicate of Logudoro or Torres (Sardinian: Judicadu de Logudoro or Torres, Rennu de Logudoro or Logu de Torres) was one of the four kingdoms or iudicati into which Sardinia was divided during the Middle Ages. It occupied the northwest part of the island from the 11th through the 13th century, bordering the Gallura to the east, Arborea to the south, and Cagliari to the southeast. Its original capital was Porto Torres. The region is still called Logudoro today.

Logudoro was the largest and earliest of the iudicati but also the second to be subsumed by a foreign power. It was divided into twenty curatoriae, ruled by curatores.
