Opposite the parish church of San Giorgio is the Montegranatico, whose construction dates back to the 18th century and, although it has been renovated several times, is still one of the most important examples of civil architecture in southwestern Sardinia. The monte granatico (or frumentario) played an important role in the community until a few decades ago. It was a veritable bank that lent farmers seeds. The local administration of the mount constituted a fund with roadies (contributions and compulsory labor by the peasants). With the reforms of the Bogino and Victor Amadeus II, beginning in 1760, relief mounts were established, which lent money to peasants at minimal rates for the purchase of livestock and farm implements, saving them from usury.
