Borutta borders the municipalities of Bessude, Bonnanaro, Cheremule, Thiesi, and Torralba. The volcanic hill once housing the village of Sorres (destroyed by the Aragonese in the early 14th century) houses the Pisan-Romanesque church of San Pietro di Sorres.
Borutta is best known for being the first municipality in Italy to have a woman as its mayor, when Ninetta Bartoli was elected in 1946.[6]
