Sulcis in the context of Archipelago of Sulcis

The Archipelago of Sulcis (in Italian Arcipelago del Sulcis or Sulcitano) is located off the coast of Sardinia, and is part of the disestablished Province of South Sardinia. The archipelago is 160 square kilometres (62 sq mi) in land area. The region had a resident population of 19,345 in 2022.

Many of the inhabitants are descended from the Ligurian inhabitants of a Genoese coral-fishing colony established in the 16th century on the Tunisian island of Tabarka. Following the capture of Tabarka in 1741 by the Bey of Tunis they fled the island and, with the permission of Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia, settled the islands of Sulcis. The Tabarkan settlers established the towns of Carloforte on San Pietro Island and Calasetta on Sant'Antioco. The residents of these areas speak the Tabarchino dialect of the Ligurian language, which is recognized as a minority language by Sardinian regional legislation.
