The village of Ardara shows traces of a rich past, when it was chosen as the residence of the judges of Torres between the 11th and 12th centuries. The main monuments of Arda date back to that period: the regal palace, of which the ruins are visible - a 12 meter tower and remains of walls - and the basilica of Nostra Signora del Regno, one of the most beautiful and best preserved Romanesque basilicas.

According to some sources, the town of Thiesi was founded by Jews deported by the Romans. Today cheese production is the main activity and is home to large dairy industries. The most important historical buildings found there are the seventeenth-century church of Sant'Antonio and the parish church of Santa Vittoria, a beautiful Gothic-Aragonese building built between 1400 and 1590, with Renaissance interior decoration and portal.
