Tips from the Community
An adventurous approach, barking dogs, thorny undergrowth. The dolmens were great, but unfortunately the hiking trail was not well maintained, so we turned back with our son.

The caves are accessible from the road across a meadow. However, there are no paths, despite other claims to the contrary. We didn't find one, and the thistles and thorns make hiking less enjoyable. The area and the view are, of course, wonderful.

The church of Saints Elias and Enoch, located on the mesa of Monte Santo, dates back to the Byzantine era (6th-9th century AD) and reflects the traditions of Greek monasticism. Originally, it was a place of worship for hermit monks who lived in cells dug into the mountain. In 1065, the church became the first Benedictine monastery on the island.

The path passes through the Domus de Janas of S'Ena de Cannuja, ancient pre-Nuragic tombs carved into the rock, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. This necropolis includes six tombs dug into a trachytic ridge. The tombs were presumably reached using carvings dug into the rock face similar to those still preserved in the Domus de Janas Sos Furrighesos necropolis in Anela.

At the top of Mount Torru there is a vast amphitheater which houses the majestic Torru nuraghe, dominating the entire peak. The nuraghe, a typical megalithic building of ancient Sardinia, was developed during the Nuragic age between 1900 and 730 BC. This structure, built with blocks of soft trachyte, rests directly on the rock which acts as a natural bastion. The view from here is wide and breathtaking.

The views from the top of Sea Lepere are spectacular. From here, the view opens onto the characteristic relief of Monte Torru. The steep rock faces stand out beautifully against the bright green vegetation.
