To know
Geographical notes
Mogoro is located in the historical region of Marmilla and borders on Gonnostramatza, Masullas, Uras, San Nicolò d'Arcidano, Pabillonis (UP), Sardara (SU) e Collinas (UP).
Background
The area was inhabited in the Nuragic and Roman times, due to the presence in the territory of some archaeological remains.
During the Middle Ages it belonged to the Giudicato of Arborea and was part of the Montargia curatoria, also known as Part Montis, of which it was also the capital after Gonnostramatza. The town of Bonorcili stood in the area in the Middle Ages, destroyed by the Barbary peoples before the 14th century due to its proximity to the sea. Some ruins remain of this town.
At the fall of the Giudicato (1420) it became part of the Marquisate of Oristano, and at the definitive defeat of the Arboresi (1478) it passed under the Aragonese dominion and was incorporated into the Incontrada di Parte Montis, becoming a fief of the Carroz counts of Quirra. In 1603 it was incorporated into the Marquisate of Quirra, a fiefdom first of the Centelles and then of the Osorio de la Cueva, from whom it was redeemed in 1839, with the suppression of the feudal system.
