What makes Archaeological Tour with Tuk Tuk a unique experience ?
The basilica of San Simplicio, in Olbia, is the most important and ancient religious monument of north-eastern Sardinia and a testimony of the spread of Christianity on the island. Cathedral until 1839, parish church since 1955, it was given the title of minor basilica, in 1993, by Pope John Paul II.
It is dedicated to San Simplicio, the proto-bishop of the city and martyr under the emperor Diocletian.
One of the most characteristic monuments of the Nuragic civilization in Gallura, in the north-eastern part of Sardinia: a sacred well where the rituals of the cult of water were held
The Olbia aqueduct was built by the Romans between the I and II centuries. d. C., to collect water coming from the springs of Mount Cabu Abas.
Next to the aqueduct a large settling tank was built, dug completely into the stone and provided with six holes for ventilation. On the sides of the cistern there are two other smaller tanks and a water inlet and outlet. On the arches you can still see the water transport channels.
It is the best preserved Roman archaeological site in Sardinia.
Near Olbia and the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, a prehistoric monument stands out over 4 thousand years ago, evoking the head of a bull, a nuragic divinity
The Castle stands on a rock of 89 meters and characterizes the whole southern part of the Olbiano basin.
Its origin dates back to between 1296 and 1322, during the period of Pisano-Aragonese domination during the rise of the Visconti family.
