The nuraghe of the Naracheddu hamlet is the most relevant testimony. There was also an inhabited center in Roman times: the archaeological finds are documented in the Museo del Mare.Among the appointments not to be missed, the feasts of the patron saint San Teodoro, whose church was rebuilt in the mid-20th century, and that of Sant'Andrea, which takes place in the Montipitrosu district.
