At the fall of the empire, Muravera becomes part of the southernmost judged to Kalari, and became an integral part of curador Sarrabus, whose activities were certainly characterize agriculture, pastoralism, and products that are produced from perennial challenge of the seas. , così nominata a causa della presenza abbondante di pietre, costituisce ancora un rione della moderna Muravera , non distante da Santa Lucia. Villa Carruti , non distante da Petrera, era la villa maggiormente popolata rispetto a quelle prese in considerazione. Villas that were part of curador in question were certainly Murahera, Petrera, carts and Sorrui. Petrera, so named because of the abundance of stones, is still a neighborhood of modern Muravera, not far from Saint Lucia. Villa Carre, not far from Petrera, the villa was more populated than those taken into account. And Sorrui villa, located where today is the Tower of ten horses, included the churches of St. John, St. George, Santa Maria and Santa Marta. We have retained only two of the last memory.

Muravera know the story of changing systems, only in 1839 when even the island feudalism will be abolished.
