"Indulge in the ancient and fascinating archaeological sites."
The most important period, of which still we have many examples, took place between 1600 and 600 BC, a period during which the territory was the cradle of the Nuraghic Sardinian civilisation, with its magical Nuraghs, represents still today the example of the most fascinating architecture of the Sardinian archeology. Originally the Nuraghi consisted of a single tower, then switched to more articulated and reinforced buildings, maybe when the island was under external invasion.
Around some of Nuraghi were subsequently recovered the foundations of some huts, to confirm the fact that around these fortresses took place there also an “everyday life”.

The burial places of the nuraghic period, the called tombs of giants, are composed of a megalithic long hallway (the collective grave), and an exedra arch, at whose center is located generally a monumental and often very high stelae, Even during the nuraghic period, the artistic taste was well developed. As evidence of this, we have the famous bronze statues, small sculptures in bronze depicting people, animals and objects of daily life.
