Archeology. (Muravera)
The territory is rich in archaeological residues, often located in inaccessible areas to reach, that inform us of an era even earlier than nuragica. These structures are now hidden by vegetation, but still solid and stable, carved in stone or made by the same. The first structures of which are certainly intend to speak Domus de Janas. The Sardinians understood as the small houses of the fairies who lived in places away from the villages. Here's the show I think the folklore Janas most of the time, as to be of small size, divine or demonic creatures. The moral character generally implies the beauty or ugliness of mysterious creatures, beautiful when good, Cruel horrifying when. In truth the domus would be established between the funerary structures fourth and third millennium BC. by people who ran into Sardinia across the seas, peaceful, probably vote for a cult of sun, of bull and moon (cults spread throughout the Mediterranean), that seems to have communicated to the ancient Sardinian.
Of great archaeological interest also appear to be the menhirs, the stones fitter, as are most commonly appointed in Sardinia. This would be megalithic stones, planted in the ground. There are completely smooth, that reflect clearly a phallic symbol, while others will bear the sign of female fertility, breasts, going to represent the goddess, Mother Goddess. Constructed images from around the 3300-2500 aC, were worshiped long, so much so that even Gregory the Great in 594 dC. wrote to Ospitone, he, unique among the Sardinians not worship stones as, would help in the heavy work of Christianization.
The area is also rich in nuraghes, that were built in Sardinia between the 1800 aC. since the sixth century BC. Punic ruins are visible in the one specimen age was represented by Fortress “Baccu Monte Nai” dating from the fifth century. AC. The work of colonization by the Romans, Isecolo occurred in BC, is present in the remains of several villages.

Muravera. History
The territory that now belongs to Muravera, as well as reminding us of the archaeological complex of megalithic Pool King e il Nuraghe Scala, has been inhabited since 5000 aC. At first it was subject to settlement by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, and only then became Roman rule. In the fall of, Muravera becomes part of the southernmost of the judged, to Kalari, and became an integral part of curadoria Sarrabus, whose activities were certainly characterize agriculture, pastoralism, and the products were obtained from the perennial challenge of the seas. Villas that were part of curadoria in question were certainly Murahera, Petrera, Carruti and Sorrui. Petrera, so named because of the abundant presence of stones, is still a ward of the modern Muravera, non far from Santa Lucia. Villa Carrati, not far from Petrera, The villa was more populated than those considered. E villa Sorru, situated where now stands the Tower of Ten Horses, included the churches of San Giovanni, St George, Santa Maria and Santa Marta. We have retained only two of the last memories. Although very populous, was left between the XIV and XV century. Murahera was close to the churches of St. Anne and St. Nicholas. And the name should go back to “Walls” Sardinian, which literally means tree and fruit of mulberry and dark “Vera”, or cultivated edible. Sad was the fate of this land forever subject to ferocious attacks by pirates. In some circumstances it was possible for the people reject, more often this was not possible. This had to stimulate the 1600 the construction of several towers that had as their purpose to protect the coasts. We recall the Torre delle Saline, the Tower of Ten Horses, and Tower Capoferrato. In the thirteenth century Muravera passed to the Visconti, Judges di Gallura, become the domain of Pisa and in the fifteenth century will be conquered by the Aragonese who imposed the disastrous feudal regime. Will the feud Carroz, family strongly interested in the conquest of Sardinia, Lords of Quirra. But the family of importance in Muravera was also that of Cappai, accounts Villasalto. The story of Muravera know the change of note only 1839 even when the island will be abolished feudalism. The territories of Sarrabus become the property of the municipality, and the family who won a decent power was then that the Sulis.
