The history of Serdiana

The area of Serdiana has been inhabited since the Neolithic period and has seen the passage of several civilizations over the centuries. During the Roman age, the settlement developed into a proper town, and in the Middle Ages, the village was part of the judge of Cagliari. In 1257, it passed to the judge of Arborea and then to the Republic of Pisa, until it came under Aragonese domination in 1323. Subsequently, Serdiana passed through various feudal lords until it was incorporated into the marquisate of San Saverio in 1728, and in 1839 it was redeemed by the Brunengo with the suppression of the feudal system.
