This province is located in the heart of Sardinia, the provinces of Nuoro and Cagliari and is washed by the Tyrrhenian Sea.
A small curiosity is provided by the fact that with its Aols 23 municipalities and 50 000 inhabitants, the province dellOgliastra led by Tortoli and Lanusei, is the least populated of Italy. 
The name is quite Tortolì discussed by experts of place names, but mainly it is thought that might come from the name of an ancient port, then crippled by Pisa in Tortohelie.
Geographically its location is very convenient, so it's currently the subject of numerous trade and land, the railway station, both by sea, with its port, which aircraft, airport Arbatax.

The altitude of the town is a few meters above sea level.
The area around Tortolì is typical Sardinian variegated with beautiful beaches, the hinterland and the wild mountain scenery Gennargentu.
Tortoli has always been defined as a country between the sea and the pond and perhaps the feature that has been beneficial.
The village is crossed by a small river the Rio Foddeddu, which flows directly into the sea near the port.
The area near the harbor, from which it takes its name Arbatax, is famous for its red rocks, which takes its name from a blues music festival held every summer in the country.
These rocks consist of red porphyry and diorite black and emerge from the sea as they were a species of large rocks.

Regarding the lakes, they are not present in the country, and the nearest is Flumendosa.
The first historical Tortolì (though its foundation dates back to 3000 BC) took place during the Roman Empire to domination by foreign peoples, first the Carthaginians, then the Goths, to pass under Arab rule, and then Spanish. In 1100 he joined the court of Cagliari and became the county seat of Quirra.
Its recent history is more detailed: in 1807 became a provincial capital until 1859 when it leaves the scepter in Lanusei and becomes part of the province of Cagliari.
One of the blackest pages of history in this country is scirtto But in 1869 when he arrives in town smallpox, brought by a prisoner who claimed many victims.
Just continue to make smallpox deaths in 1908, until the arrival of the still worse Spanish flu. 
Meanwhile tortolì changes again and passes under Nuoro province until the year 2005 when in fact becomes the capital with Lanusei Ogliastra.
Another page is written finally in the black World War II when Tortoli, in particular the port of Arbatax is bombed by 18 aircraft to break the maritime trade of our country. A few years before had visited Mussolini.
