TERRANOVA PAUSANIA  , a seaport of Sardinia, in the province of Sassari, situated on the E. coast, 14 m . S.W. of Golfo Aranci, and 72 M . E. of Sassari by rail, and in the inner-most recess of the sheltered gulf of Terranova . Pop . (1901) 4348 . It occupies the site of the ancient Olbia (q.v.), and until the traffic was transferred to Golfo Aranci, was the ,port of embarkation for Italy, as in ancient times . There is some trade in cork and charcoal . The place is low-lying and malarious . The only building of interest is the Romanesque church of S . Simplicio, once the cathedral, which as it stands dates probably from the 11th century . It was the seat of the giudici of Gallura, sent here by the Pisans in the I Ith century (but probably the native giudici resided at Tempio), and of an episcopal see, united in 15o6 with that of Ampurias . The name Pausania is the consequence of an error; it is a corruption of Fausiana, a town and episcopal see of Sardinia mentioned by Gregory the Great, the site of which is in reality uncertain .
