History
According to the Sardinian historian Giovanni Francesco Fara (1543–1591) the Goceano, in Latin Gothianus, takes its name from the Goths, some of whom settled down in the region during the Middle Ages.
The region is historically characterised by the Castle of Burgos, built in 1134 by the Giudice of LogudoroGonario II of Torres.[1] The castle was considered in the 14th century "one of the strongest and efficient forts of Sardinia".[2]
