Background
The first traces of humans are from the Late Neolithic (4th millennium BC), and are attributable to people of the Ozieri culture. In addition to relatively widespread obsidian tools, monumental evidence of the final Neolithic can be found in the internal areas, where there are hypogenic necropolises in Domus de Janas. In the locality of Magalàu there was a necropolis consisting of three hypogea dug out of the schist, the only surviving one of which consists of a single cell with a niche; in the locality of Santa Lugia a single artificial cave, similar to that of Magalàu but with a secondary chamber. In the territory there are 77 nuraghi, 22 villages, 34 giants' tombs and a sacred well dating back to the nuragic period. This density of structures testifies to a high demographic density, parallel to that documented for other areas in Sardinia, which also implied a certain economic and socio-political articulation of the territory. The entire nuragic cultural development is visible in the current landscape.
In the Middle Ages it was part of the Giudicato of Cagliari, in the curatoria of Sarrabus of which it was the capital. At the fall of the Giudicato (1258) it passed for a short time to the Giudicato of Gallura, then to the municipality of Pisa and subsequently, from 1324, to the Aragonese.
Under the Aragonese dominion the town was incorporated into the county of Quirra, formed by the king of Aragon Pietro IV the Ceremonious and given as a fief to the Carroz. In 1603 the county was transformed into a marquisate, a fief first of the Centelles and then of the Osorio de la Cueva.
Around the sixteenth century, to watch over the coast, the tower of San Giovanni di Sarrala (Santu Juanni de Sàrrala) was built. In the eighteenth century south of Tertenia the villages of Ullu disappeared at the foot of the castle of Quirra and Tovuda Billamonti in the locality of Bidda 'e Monti in the countryside of Tertenia.
The town was redeemed to the Osorio, the last feudal lords, in 1839 with the abolition of the feudal system, so it became a municipality administered by a mayor and a municipal council.
