In the middle of the town in Piazza Repubblica, there is the new parish church with a pile for holy water, which reuses a truncated column and a capital with the symbols of the Evangelists of the third century.
On a hill to the east of the town is the Sa Domu S'Orcu nuraghe, consisting of an original tower, with a single internal chamber and raised staircase, dating back to the early Middle Bronze Age.
The Sarroch area has been inhabited since the Nuragic age.
During the Middle Ages it was part of the Giudicato of Cagliari and was included in the curatoria of Nora with the name of San Rocco; subsequently it passed to the curatoria of Capoterra.
After the death of the Giudicato of Cagliari in 1258, it passed to the Gherardiani della Gherardesca, masters at that time in south-western Sardinia.
