History
[edit]The area of San Gavino was already settled in the Nuragic era, but the centre is of medieval origin. It was a possession of the Giudicato of Arborea and, later, of the Aragonese, being mostly destroyed in the ensuing war. Subsequently it was a fief of the Centelles and of the Osorio families, who held it until 1839.
