Tulagi (less commonly known as Tulaghi) is a small island in Solomon Islands, just off the south coast of Ngella Sule. The town of Tulagi is the capital of the Central Province.
==History== The first recorded sighting by Europeans was by the Spanish expedition of Álvaro de Mendaña on 16 April 1568. More precisely the sighting was due to a local voyage done by a small boat, in the accounts the brigantine Santiago, commanded by Maestre de Campo Pedro Ortega Valencia and having Hernán Gallego as pilot.
