Called "Olbia" in the Roman age, "Civita" in the Middle Ages (Giudicati period) and "Terranova Pausania" before the 1940s, Olbia was again the official name of the town after the period of Fascism. It is the economic centre of this part of the island (commercial centres, food industry) and is very close to the famous Costa Smeralda tourist area. It will soon become an administrative capital (together with Tempio Pausania) of the new province of "Olbia-Tempio". Olbia is the main connection between Sardinia and the Italian peninsula, with an airport ("Olbia-Costa Smeralda"), a passenger port (Olbia-Isola Bianca), and a railway to Porto Torres and Cagliari. There are an expressway to Nuoro and Cagliari (SS131) and national roads to Sassari (SS199-E840), Tempio Pausania (SS127), and Palau (SS125).
