Beautiful single-tower nuraghe, visible from the road. It can be visited (I saw people going in and out during my visit) by entering the grounds past a small gate.

Only a limited view, as everything at the top of the chapel is overgrown...but it's worth it....

Nuragic complex located about 2 km from Bortigali. It includes an archaic corridor nuraghe, a complex tholos nuraghe, a village of circular huts and a sacred well. Surrounded by a wall, it stands on a modest hill.

A walk through the streets of Tinnura will let you discover numerous murals depicting scenes of bucolic life. They are really well kept and a great opportunity for some photography.

This small shrine to the Madonna marks the crossing of the road that connects the villages of Cuglieri and Santu Lussurgiu. The view of the mountains of Montiferru and Casteddu Etzu is definitely worth a stop.

The Monte di Sant'Antonio is a relief of volcanic origin, a suggestive corner of nature submerged in the woods and in the Mediterranean scrub. Country churches and archaeological sites abound throughout the area. Here there is also the statue of the Madonna, of Sant'Antonio di Padova, and a nuraghe is hidden in the thick vegetation.
