The territory of Mogoro preserves a few significant archaeological evidences dating back to the pre-historic age. At the borders of the basaltic plateau of Perdiana, at a short distance from the stream Mogoro, Puisteris area is the site of a major pre-Nuragic settlement. Since the 50’s, archaeological research brought it to light as one of the most important Neolithic villages of Sardinia, containing remnants of over 260 hut-shaped structures. During the Neolithic period this settlement must have represented a thriving centre for Mount Arci obsidian manufacturing. Nuragic age anthropization is reported by the presence of several monuments; one of the main examples is the Cuccurada complex, located upon the southern offshoot of a basaltic plateau that has recently made the object of excavations. Other nuraghi are present - Su Guventu Arrubiu, Arratzu, Enna Pruna, Nieddu, Is Carrelis, S. Barbara, Mudegu - as well as the sacred well of Pauli Atzuvau.

The territory of Mogoro also preserves the ruins of several Punic settlements: Bonorzuli, Serra ‘e Furca, Tradoriu, Cracaxia, Is Nuracis, S’Arxidda. Roman communities gathered around nuraghi Mudegu, Arratzu, Nieddu and in the areas of Bonorcili, Santu Pedru, Cort’e Marroni, Serra Muru, Santa Barbara, Santu Simioni, Palas de Litteras, Canali, Perda Funtana, Piscina Monti, S’Arxidda, Pisceri). A (possibly) Roman bridge can be spotted in the area of Su Ponti Becciu. Vestiges of medieval hamlets, dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, were also found in this territory.

The church of S.Maria di Cracaxia, sited in Ponte Cracaxia area, was partially re-built in 1922. Until the early modern age, it had been the parish church of a village that was later abandoned.
