== History == Although the name is of Greek origin, due to the Greek presence during the seventh century [[Anno Domini|B.C.]], the city of Olbia was first settled either by the [[Nuragic civilization|Nuragics]]<ref>{{Cite book|last=Pittau|first=Massimo|title=Storia dei sardi nuragici|publisher=Domus de janas|year=2007|isbn=978-88-88569-39-0|location=Selargius|language=Italian|oclc=876584347|quote=Noi respingiamo con decisione la tesi sostenuta di recente da qualcuno secondo cui Olbia sarebbe stata fondata dai Cartaginesi nel 350 a.C., e sosteniamo invece che non si possa dubitare per nulla del fatto che il sito di Olbia fosse stato occupato in epoca molto più antica dai Nuragici. Lo dimostra all’evidenza innanzitutto il fatto che tutto il retroterra olbiese è risultato ricco di monumenti e reperti nuragici – si pensi al pozzo sacro di ‘Sa Testa’ ed inoltre al santuario fortificato di ‘Cabu Abbas’-, in secondo luogo la circostanza che ai Nuragici non poteva sfuggire l’importanza enorme della baia di Olbia come insenatura difesa dai venti e quindi adattissima alla pesca, all’estrazione del sale ed alla navigazione.}}</ref> or by [[Phoenicia]]ns, according to the archaeological findings. It contains ruins from the [[Nuragic civilisation|Nuragic]] era to the Roman era, when it was an important port, and the Middle Ages, when it was the capital of the [[Giudicato of Gallura]], one of the four independent states of Sardinia. During the [[First Punic War]], the Romans fought against the [[Punics|Carthaginians]] and the Sardinians near Olbia, where the general Hanno died in battle.{{cn|date=October 2022}} [[File:San Simplicio Olbia 01.jpg|thumb|San Simplicio]] From 1113 it was the episcopal see of the [[Diocese of Cività]] (succeeding to the [[Diocese of Gallura]], the 1070 restoration of the [[Diocese of Fausania]], {{circa}} 500–750), which was renamed in 1839 as [[Diocese of Civita–Tempio]] until its formal suppression in favor of (in fact merger into) the [[Diocese of Tempio–Ampurias]] (also integrating the [[Diocese of Ampurias]], which was in [[personal union]] with the see of Civita from 1506).{{cn|date=October 2022}}
