Bitti

Bitti lies among the hills of northeastern Sardinia, north of Nuoro. Ancient granite structures and temples in the surrounding country testify to settlement in the Nuragic age. The place was recorded as Bitthe in 1170 and became a district centre of the Judicate of Gallura. It later formed part of the Marquisate of Orani, while the village grew around its church dedicated to Saint George.
