drafted by the Pisan, So is the presence of well- 13 churches. It is clear that very little that was more than enough in the subsistence economy, was invested, willy-nilly, in the construction of churches. What to denote the degree of Christianization of the area. Today we still have the opportunity to visit well 5 of these ancient churches. Two of these are situated in the town and specifically San Nicola di Bari and Saint Lucia, while the other three are dedicated to rural San Giovanni Battista, in Santa Maria and Sant'Antioco. Of great interest also 
coastal towers, built between the fourteenth and the eighteenth century with the aim of defending the coasts of Muravera and not only from the pirate raids, imaginary beasts that we can, bloody and sudden. Interesting to note that these structures were all communicating with each other through smoke signals in the morning and at night by the fire, as well as it should be a time for nuraghe. It will be possible to go through that passage of revisiting the story towers that still give a fine show when in the territory of Muravera, such as Tower of Ten Horses, Salinas Tower and the Tower of Monti Ferru. Do not forget the Portico Petretto and Home is the de Candelajus, typical house style sarrabese, belonged to the family Pilia dating back to 1790 about. The house pours still in excellent condition, and again today to visit you will have the opportunity to know the family that lived there, their customs and habits.
