history
In October 1951, the old town center, now called Gairo Vecchio , and the historic castle complex were almost completely destroyed by a flood and later abandoned in order to rebuild new houses above the half-destroyed village and on the coast. In contrast to Gairo Vecchio , today's place is also known as Gairo Nuovo or Gairo Sant'Elena . The current municipality of Cardedu emerged from the settlement on the coast in 1984 , which explains the year in the town's coat of arms.
