In the late twelfth century and during the thirteenth century, a branch of the Doria family of Genoa was able to consolidate its presence in the north west of Sardinia.

The Via Ferrata della Regina is a partially equipped path that climbs and crosses a large part of the ledges that characterise the northern side of the rocky hill of Su Monte.
