The name of Sanluri compares for the first time in documents of the XIV century which highlights its strategic importance, along the border between the Giudicato of Cagliari and that of Arborèa.
Despite being a small village, in 1300 it became the capital of the Nuraminis curatoria of the Giudicato of Cagliari.
Due to its strategic position, the village was much disputed during the wars between the Aragonese and the Sardinians of the Giudicato of Arborea.
All the slopes of a hill east of the town, called "Bruncu de sa battalla", ended in 1409 the bloodiest phase of the long Aragonese war of occupation, the defeat suffered in the battle of Sanluri by the Arborean troops commanded by the viscount and by Brancaleone Doria, husband of Eleonora d'Arborea, by the Aragonese army led by the sovereign Martino the Younger himself, in fact sanctioned the end of the island's independence.
