=== Late Middle Ages till the eighteenth century===
At the end of the 13th century, the city of Civita (today's Olbia) takes the name of Terranova, a new settlement founded by the pisans near the site of the ancient Roman port of Olbia.
[[Pirate]]s – primarily from [[North Africa]] – [[raid (military)|raided]] the coasts of Gallura and people moved consequently from there to the hinterland. The city of [[Tempio]] became especially populated.
Between 1300 and 1800 there was a big emigration of people from the nearby island of [[Corsica]] to Gallura. [[Corsicans]] deeply influenced the language and the culture of Gallura, which still today is considered quite different from the culture and the dialects of the rest of Sardinia.

By the end of the 1700s people started to move from the hinterland to the coasts.
