In the countryside of Piscinas, around 1000, the Benedictines built a convent, the center of local activities. Over the centuries, the town of Piscinas was united with Giba and passed to various feudal lords, until it was assigned to the Salazar family of Iglesias in 1587. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Salazars built Villa Salazar (or Villa Bice), designed by the architect Giorgio Asproni, acquired by the Municipality in 2002 to make it a multipurpose cultural center, immersed in a park with rare and centuries-old plants.
