Nuraghe S'Omu 'e S'Orcu, meaning "the house of the ogre," is a Nuragic complex dating back to between 1500 and 900 BC. The imposing structure comprises a central tower, a bastion with an internal courtyard and cistern, and a rampart with five towers enclosing the Nuragic village. Traces of fire and smelting slag were found in one of the towers, evidence of metallurgical activity linked to the rich copper and tin deposits in the area.
