Roman Catholic Diocese of Sorres

The Diocese of Sorres or Diocese of Sorra (Latin: Dioecesis Sorrensis) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the village of Borutta in the province of Sassari, northern Sardinia, Italy. Established by the 12th century, the diocese was suppressed by Pope Julius II in 1503, and its territory incorporated in the Archdiocese of Sassari. The name "Sorres", though not the diocese itself, was revived in 1976 as a titular bishopric.
