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.

A wide Capo Ferrato are different wrecks, which seems, All were sunk by the same submarine During the years of World War II. This would be a British submarine that patrolled the east coast probably, to block the convoys of food headed for Africa.

A perfect harmony between human work and the work of the sea that has inlaid with scales, the metal walls, home today algae and most diverse marine species. To the south of Capo Ferrato, resting on a sandy bottom is still the Marte ship 
load built in 1917 and destroyed by a torpedo launched by the British submarine in 1942. It is divided into two parts, the hold almost completely uncovered, some cabins almost totally destroyed. Parts of the goods transported in bulk items are still visible. And 'Mars is likely to be turned before finally touching the bottom. It 'also observed a beautiful gun, now encrusted by sponges.
The Valdivagna is to be abandoned 73 m fund. It is not too far from Mars, cargo ship built in 1913 and sunk in 1941. The stern is the best preserved. You can still see remnants of beds and health. A 3 km from Capo Ferrato you can find the Salpi. Was sunk in 1942 and today is at a depth of 49 m depth.

If fate has been cruel to those men and those boats, history has rewarded them in her small, making their indelible memory in our minds.
