Detail of Captain Smith’s map (Accardo-Fontana private collection, Museo Casa Manno, Alghero-Sardinia). The graphic elaboration shows the relationship between the territorial determinants (system of hills and wetlands) and the historical settlement

Penitentiary (n.32) and new Lazzaretto (n.34) in the drawing realized by the piedmontese military officer Carlo De Candia and published in Della Marmora 1860. On the right of the drawing we can recognize the wide bay that delimited the ancient salt works of the Lazzaretto

Figure 7.

Graphic correspondence between the nineteenth-century map and the aerial photo dated 1940–45; the comparison shows the modification of the coastline and the permanence of Lazzaretto Salt works traces, the position the church of S. Bartolomeo, and it allows to identify the position taken by old Lazzaretto and by the farms represented in the view of 1832 (identified in Fig. 3 by the letter G)

Figure 9.

The syntesis shows the urban growth that occupies the salt works of the Lazzaretto and the areas immediately behind the pond of Molentargius leaving only a few areas free from urbanization. The presence of the canals is not a problem for the development of the city plan unlike the military zone which – like a bastion – restricts the occupation of the area of Sant’Elia and Calamosca performing (unconsciously) a protection of historical landscape that today becomes an important value for the city
