Attalea was originally named Agroeira or Alloeira.[1] Attalea was important enough in the Roman province of Lydia to become a suffragan diocese of its capital Sardes's Metropolitan Archbishopric, and to mint coins.[2] Yet it was to fade.
Titular seeedit
The diocese was nominally restored in 1933.
It is vacant, having had a single incumbent of the lowest (episcopal) rank :
Carlo Maria Giuseppe de Fornari (1730.12.11 – ?), as emeritate; formerly Bishop of Aléria (1713.01.30 – 1715.02.20), Bishop of Albenga (Italy) (1715.02.20 – 1730.12.11)
