In the shadow of the village once stood Biora, an ancient Punic-Roman city of which some remains can still be seen such as ruins, mosaics, and mysterious tombs. Over the centuries, Nurri has experienced the rule of Sardinian Judicatures, Pisans, and Aragonese, until its inclusion in the duchy of Mandas in 1604.
