history
Lanusei was first mentioned in 1119, although the two giant graves in the community (found in 1956 - Tomba I - and 1964 - Tomba II) already indicate settlement in the Stone Age. The Lanusei diocese has existed since 1824 . The place gained importance through the school of the Salesians Don Bosco , who settled here among other things.
In May 2015, Lanusei entered into a partnership with the small German town of Meerane near Zwickau in Saxony.
