Noragugume: a small town rich in history and nature
Noragugume is a small town located in the province of Nuoro, in Sardinia. Its history dates back to the prehistoric era, particularly in the pre-Nuragic and Nuragic period, as evidenced by the numerous monuments present in the area. The historic center of the village dates back to the 15th century and is characterized by the presence of important testimonies such as the church of Santa Croce, also known as Santa Rughe.
Physical geography
Noragugume is located in an alluvial hilly area, between the Marghine mountain range and Lake Omodeo. The municipal territory extends between 141 and 310 meters above sea level, with a total elevation difference of 169 meters.
History
The village was named Nuracogomo during the judiciary period and was incorporated into the Marghine curatorship in the Torres jurisdiction. At the fall of the judiciary, it passed to the Arborea jurisdiction, to then become an integral part of the Marchesato di Oristano. After the definitive defeat of the Arborenses in 1478, Noragugume passed under Aragonese dominion and, in the 18th century, was included in the Marghine marchesato.
In 1839, with the abolition of the feudal system, the municipality of Noragugume was redeemed by the Tellez-Giron, who were the owners of the fief for many years.
