Cuglieri is situated on a hill and its surrounding territory stretches from the highest peaks of the Montiferru, as far as the sea and the villages of Santa Caterina di Pittinurri, S'Archittu, with the splendid natural archway carved into the rock by the sea, and Torre del Pozzo, which gets its name from the Spanish tower.

The first human settlement at Cuglieri dates back to prehistoric times. Testimony to this ancient history can be seen in the Domus de Janas, the Nuraghi which are concentrated the area known as "Sessa".

The archaeological area of Cornus is particularly interesting and noted for the historic figures of Amsicora and his son Ariosto, who led the uprising against the Romans in the second Punic war in 215 B.C..
