==History== The first constructions were probably created between the 12th and the 13th centuries, but for lack of official documents, it seems difficult to confirm it. It seems more probable than the village was an appendix of Vila Fernando, another village which is located at two kilometers of Albardo. It was a place where a great number of enclosure with sheep was; thereafter, people settled with more close, giving rise to the village and becoming completely autonomous starting from the 18th century.
