History

The foundation of Masullas presumably dates back to the Roman period, as evidenced by the necropolis of Mitza Salida and Roia de sa lua. In the Roman period, basalt was used for the realisation of macine, even today we can find these macine.

During the Middle Ages Masullas was divided into two villages, each with a church: Church of Santa Lucia and Church of San Leonardo.

Economy

In Masullas, agriculture and livestock farming are widespread in the primary sector. In the secondary sector we find several companies, especially in construction. For the tertiary sector, Masullas in the Campidano area is one of the municipalities that has focused heavily on tourism, having opened 3 museums, various exhibitions, a widespread hotel and the entire urban center combines a very modern vision with its ancient identity.
