'Sarroch' is a ''comune'' (municipality) in the Province of Cagliari in the Italian region Sardinia, located about 20 km southwest of Cagliari. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 5,277 and an area of 67.9 km².^[1]
Sarroch borders the following municipalities: Assemini, Capoterra, Pula, Villa San Pietro.
Sarroch, which is situated twenty five kilometres from Cagliari, has 5.600 inhabitants. This number becomes 10.000 in the summer with the invasion of the zones of Perda e Sali and Portu Columbu. The origin of the name is mysterious. It might derive from the Phonenician "Sharak" meaning bunch of grapes , or perhaps from the Catalan "S'arroch" with clear reference of the majestic rock that dominates the village.
