History

The area around Cala Gonone was home to people during the Nuragic Era. You can still see the remains of an old settlement at Nuraghe Mannu, just outside the village on the road to Dorgali. The modern village began when fishermen from the island of Ponza settled there in the early 1900s. For many years, the town stayed isolated from the rest of Sardinia until a tunnel from Dorgali was built in 1860.
