Muravera
Muravera, the capital of the historic region of Sarrabus, nestles in a river valley between the hills, a short distance from the beaches of incredible beauty that stretch for about 32 km, lapped by crystal clear water.
The territory has been inhabited since 5000 BC, a period of Nuraghic: Near Muravera we see the complex of Nuraghe Scalas, Piscina Rei and S'Acqua Seccis.
The town - which in those days was on Coast - experienced a precarious Middle Ages, from one to another dominion. In 1600, harassed by pirates raids, the inhabitants decided to move inward, while on the coast they erected sighting towers, such as the Tower 10 Cavalli and the Tower Salinas, still visible. Among the most interesting monuments of Muravera also report the Church of San Nicola di Bari in the late Gothic and nineteenth-century Portico Petretto. Recently, the houses were decorated with artistic murals, which give the town the appearance of an open museum. In February, the "Sagra degli agrumi" (citrus festival) is held, an event unique of its kind: the "etnotraccas" parade in the streets: floats like cribs or street theaters, on which are reproduced, with actors and alive animals, scenes inspired by folk traditions.
