History
The area was already inhabited in pre-nuragic and nuragic times as evidenced by the presence in the territory of some nuraghes, and various archaeological evidence.In the Middle Ages it belonged to the Judicate of Cagliari and was part of the curatoria of Sarrabus. At the fall of the giudicato it passed under the Pisan dominion and subsequently under the Aragonese dominion. In 1363 the king of Aragon Pietro IV the Ceremonious incorporated the country in the county of Quirra, given in feud to Berengario Carroz. In 1603 the county was transformed in marquisate, as a feud first of the Centelles and then of the Osorio de la Cueva, to which it was redeemed in 1839 with the suppression of the feudal system.
