The "house in the rock", an extraordinary pre-Nuragic architecture 'lived' until the 20th century, is in the 'heart' of a village in Anglona, in the north-west of Sardinia. It is the largest domu de Janas excavated to date.

This is a beautiful stretch of road that leads to Tempio Pausania. The road surface is excellent and the view of the surrounding hills is very suggestive.

The Doria Castle in Chiaramonti is located at the top of the hill overlooking the town and dominates the Anglona territory. Reachable from the narrow streets of the historic center of the town, the remains of the castle built in the 14th century by the Genoese Doria family are visible.

Bridge still closed as of 20th April 2024. Looks like there's still weeks/months of work left. I tried to cross but the construction workers forced me to turn around and take the 15km detour
