Despite the fact that Sardinia has been under Greek, Roman, Arab and Spanish rule you will not find a great number of sights from these periods on the island.
The history of the island is long and there are some examples of very old monuments from the island's indigenous population.
There are a number of Roman monuments such as the amphitheatre in Cagliari and some Roman villas in various different places on the island.
Many of the smaller coastal towns have some small interesting fortifications built during the period of Spanish rule on the island.
