[edit] Demographic evolution
The village was founded around the year 1000, though there is archaeological evidence of a nuragic settlement, and grew out of a farm settlement. Nuxis' pastoral settlement was aided by the presence of Benedectine monks in nearby Narcao and Flumentepido[2]. The small church (of area less than 100 square meters) of Sant'Elia di Tattinu, located approximately 250m south of the village is a well-preserved monument of byzantine architecture in Sardinia.
