A municipality in the province of Olbia-Tempio, located in the South of the Gallura area, in the hinterland of the Costa Smeralda, the village is situated at the foot of mountain chain Limbara, in a dominant position that overlooks the wide green valley below, rich of cork trees and vineyards which produce a fine wine. The municipality includes an agro-wildlife oasis of great importance, inhabited by different animals and highlighted by suggestive paths and streams.
The area of the mountains, like the entire Gallura region, was inhabited since the Neolithic Ages and there are important pieces of evidences that attest the presence of small settlements since the Nuragic Ages. The territories were conquered by the Carthaginians, before, and by the Romans, later. In medieval times the town was an important trading centre: the Pisani used to buy here wood, leather and cereals. The town was acquired by the Malaspina and in the XIV century, it was incorporated in the Giudicato (County) of Arborea. Conquered by the Aragonese, it was ceded in fief to the Deffenu and from these to the Farina, that ruled until the abolition of feudalism.
