History
The area of Nurachi has been inhabited since the pre-Nuragic Sardinia and, later, the town was an important center for the production of circular and elliptical huts for the Eneolithic village. There are also various nuraghi present throughout the area.
During the Middle Ages, Nurachi was part of the Giudicato of Arborea and the curatorship of the Campidano di Oristano. After the fall of the giudicato in 1420, Nurachi became part of the Marchesato di Oristano and in 1478 it passed under Aragonese dominion, becoming a royal fief. In the 18th century it was incorporated into the Marchesato d'Arcais, fiefdom of the Flores Nurra.
In 1839, with the suppression of the feudal system, Nurachi was redeemed by the Flores Nurra. From 1927 to 1946, Nurachi was united with the municipality of Riola Sardo. Until July 16, 1974, it belonged to the province of Cagliari.
