An ancient history

The area where Esporlatu stands today has been inhabited since Nuragic times. Over the centuries, the town has seen many rulers: it was part of the Giudicato of Torres, the Curatoria of Goceano and, later, of the Giudicato of Arborea. In the fifteenth century, Esporlatu and the entire Goceano region came under Aragonese dominion until it was redeemed and freed from feudalism in 1839.
