Cultural and Socialization Institutions

The University of Cagliari, in Italian Universita degli Studi di Cagliari, is a public research university in Cagliari on the island of Sardinia, Italy. Its predecessor, the Studium Generalis Kalaritanum, was founded in 1606 along the lines of the old Spanish universities of Salamanca, Valladolid and Lleida, but it began to operate only after the privilege of King Philip III of Spain in 1620. It originally taught law, Latin, Greek and Hebrew literature, the liberal arts, medicine, surgery, philosophy and science. Today it is organized in six faculties, enrols about 36,000 students and has a newer campus in Monserrato for the science faculties and a university hospital.
