Discover some of the most evocative and unique monuments of Sardinia: nuraghi and domus de janas, the famous “fairy houses”.

This journey takes you back more than 6,000 years, visiting sites of extraordinary charm where the atmosphere of ancient populations can still be felt today.

Archaeological Trekking

Where nature becomes legend and legend becomes history.

Two masterpieces of ancient history: the Orolo Nuraghe in Bortigali and the Santa Barbara Nuraghe in Macomer.
Separated by the mountainous ridge of Monte Manai, yet united by the grandeur and integrity that still define these remarkable examples of Nuragic archaeology.

Tamuli Archaeological Area

The archaeological complex of Tamuli lies at the foot of the Marghine mountain range, near Monte Sant’Antonio.
Dating back to around 1500 BC, it includes a complex corridor-type nuraghe, an extensive hut village and three Giants’ Tombs, one of which is flanked by six betili stones — three “male” and three “female”.

Filigosa Necropolis

Filigosa is a prehistoric necropolis featuring four domus de janas tombs, the famous “fairy houses” of Sardinian tradition.
The tombs are carved into the rock and characterized by long access corridors known as dromos, along with a varying number of burial chambers where the deceased were laid to rest.
The first chamber was equipped with a central hearth, an important ritual element in prehistoric funerary practices.

Santa Barbara Nuraghe

The Santa Barbara Nuraghe—named after the nearby rural church dedicated to the saint—is a complex Nuragic structure.
It consists of a central tower rising over 15 meters and a large quadrilobate bastion with an internal courtyard.

Imposing and remarkably well preserved, it is one of the most famous nuraghi on the island, strategically built to control the natural routes connecting north and south, east and west Sardinia.

Le Arti Antiche Ethnographic Museum

The ethnographic museum Le Arti Antiche in Macomer is housed in a distinctive 19th-century residence and is dedicated to preserving and enhancing local traditional culture.

The museum displays over 3,000 original objects arranged across 14 rooms, organized by traditional “arts”, offering a fascinating insight into ancient crafts and everyday life.

Barbagia Excursion: Orgosolo, Nuoro and Mamoiada

This excursion takes you into the heart of the Province of Nuoro, exploring one of Sardinia’s most characteristic areas, where time seems to have stood still.

Through historic villages, murals, traditions and museums, the tour offers an authentic insight into the cultural identity of inland Sardinia.

Romanesque Churches Itinerary

A journey through central Sardinia, discovering beautiful Romanesque churches built during a period rich in fascination and mystery.

From the early Middle Ages, favorable historical circumstances allowed new artistic influences to reach the island, blending with local traditions and leaving some of the most significant traces in Sardinian architecture, particularly in religious buildings — many of which can still be visited today.
