Ecclesiastical history

In 1130 was established the Diocese of Terralba.

It was held in personal union (aeque principaliter) with the neighbouring Roman Catholic Diocese of Ales from 1503.12.08 until its suppression on 1986.09.30, when its territory were merged into Ales as the present Roman Catholic Diocese of Ales-Terralba, remaining a suffragan of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oristano.

Its former cathedral episcopal see dedicated to the Apostle Peter became the Co-Cathedral: Concattedrale di S. Pietro Apostolo, in Terralba.
