Dotted across the island, over 7000 unique and peculiar nuraghes can be spotted. These massive fortresses are made from giant stones and pose intriguing questions about their history and origins. If you’re curious to learn more about these fascinating structures, Su Nuraxi of Barumini is strongly recommended. Recognized as a UNESCO Heritage site since 1997, this well-preserved nuraghe is a gateway to the ancient and cryptic history of Sardinia.
We’ll also explore a Domus de Janas of the region, also referred to as fairy houses, these are rock-carved areas that reflect prehistoric funerary traditions.

From a semi-unknown past a fabulous monument - Incredible conservation of such an ancient artifact. In the setting of the plateau that hosts it, this monument leads to an in-depth study of a historical period that is as ancient as it is little investigated and known. The visits are all guided and this makes them safe for tourists and full of news that fuels curiosity. Well maintained site, easily accessible even in the narrowest sections. Not to be missed.

Fabulous site and tour guide - It looks like this tour is the best and the cheapest. Francesca was a fantastic tour guide and told us lots of history we did not know. She was punctual and picked us up at our hotel. There were only two of us so we went in a comfortable car and she told us about the island as we drove through villages and the countryside. The site itself is not to be missed and most impressive. We realised, because of the bus times from Cagliati (afternoons) it would have been impossible to get there and back in a day and hard to reach. Francesca was like a friend showing us round and a lovely intelligent young woman. Do not miss!
