The aim of the articule is to present and evaluate the current state of research on the Byzantine fortifications in Sardinia that were constructed between the conquest of the island under Justinian the Great in 534 and the decline of imperial control over Sardinia that occured by the 11th century. Various types of defensive structures that were used in the early medieval period are taken into account – city walls, castra, smaller military outposts, as well as re-used Bronze Age and Roman structures. The observations and conclusions are made on the basis of archaeological research and relatively few surviving historical sources
