To know

Geographical notes

Pattada is located in the historical region of Monteacuto and borders on Well all, Buddusò, Bultei, Nughedu San Nicolò, Nule, Oschiri, Osidda (Nuoro) is Ozieri.

Background

Of particular importance is the nuragic site, between Pattada and Buddusò, near which some objects belonging to the culture of Ozieri, a pre-Nuragic culture developed in Sardinia, have been brought to light. Furthermore, in the territory it is possible to observe some interesting tombs of the giants, funerary monuments of Nuragic origin.

During the medieval period, Pattada was part of the curatoria of Monte Acuto, in the Giudicato of Torres. Not far from the inhabited center there are the ruins of the castle of Olomene where an important coin storage room dating back to the Middle Ages was found, a period during which the castle was of considerable importance. At the fall of the Giudicato (1259) it was annexed for a certain time to the Giudicato of Arborea. When the island was conquered by the Catalan-Aragonese, around 1350, Pattada became a fief. It was part of the dioceses of Castro. In the 18th century it was incorporated into the duchy of Monte Acuto, under the lordship of the Tellez-Giron of Alcantara, from whom it was redeemed in 1839 with the suppression of the feudal system.

Heir to the medieval urban tradition, the town has a picturesque-looking historic center, characterized by cobbled alleys and streets overlooked by small Art Nouveau buildings and granite houses which, in some cases, still retain the typical wooden window frames . Next to the stone houses there are some buildings with sober neoclassical facades.
