Tour Nuraghe Arrubiu Santa Vittoria and Pranu Muttedu

At 09.30 our Minivans will leave from Cagliari to reach the Pranu Muttedu Park, one of the most impressive, relevant and particular pre-Nuragic sites in Sardinia. You will be surrounded by the green countryside of Gerrei, the park is surrounded by lush cork oaks and Mediterranean scrub.
Once you leave Pranu Muttedu after about 30 minutes you can admire the fascinating Nuraghe Arrubiu, one of the largest
protohistoric monuments of Western Europe, the most imposing megalithic structure on the island, as well as the only known nuraghe with five towers. The nickname Red Giant is due to its majestic proportions and the red shades of the lichens that color its basaltic stone walls.
On this site it is also possible to stop for lunch.
In the afternoon we will move to the Nuragic Sanctuary of Santa Vittoria, one of the most important and ‘long-lived’ archaeological areas of the island, from
Federal nuragic sanctuary and Byzantine church.

In the Sarcidano area, in central Sardinia – SANTA VITTORIA
southern, there is one of the major protohistoric monuments of Western Europe, the most imposing structure
megalithic on the island, as well as the only known nuraghe with five towers.
The nickname Red Giant is due to its majestic proportions and the red shades of the lichens that color its basaltic stone walls.
The complex of Nuraghe Arrubiu extends for five thousand square meters and is made up of a central tower (mastio) 15 meters high – originally double – surrounded by a powerful bastion made up of five towers, in turn surrounded by a defensive wall with seven towers joined by curtains. Inside it has various courtyards. To the south-east there is another wall with five towers connected by walls. In total there are 21 towers

On a basaltic plateau, on the border between the territories of Sarcidano and Trexenta, in the central-southern part of Sardinia, there is one of the most
important and ‘long-lived’ of the island, from a federal Nuragic sanctuary to a Byzantine church.
It is an evocative place where you will observe the evolution of the Nuragic civilization in the Bronze Age up to the beginning of the Iron Age.
Four groups of buildings are identifiable. The first is the sacred area, consisting of the well temple dedicated to the cult of water: it is the main building made with carefully crafted basalt blocks. Another architectural nucleus is the ‘party enclosure’, a socio-commercial area, for parties, business and the stay of ‘foreigners’. A third group of buildings is made up of the huts and a fourth complex, where the ‘execution enclosure’ and the ‘curia’ with around 50 seats stand out: here, perhaps, the leaders of the various Nuragic peoples of the central Sardinia.

One of the most impressive, relevant and particular pre-Nuragic sites in Sardinia, it is located in the green countryside of Gerrei, in the central-eastern part of the south of the island.
Extending over 200 thousand square meters and immersed in lush cork oaks and Mediterranean scrub of the Gerrei hills, it is one of the most evocative and important archaeological sites in internal Sardinia.
To the north, in the locality of Su Crancu, there is the agglomeration of huts of reference to the necropolis. To the south of the village, there are the burial grounds of Pranu Muttedu and Nuraxeddu, exceptionally surrounded by large groups of menhirs, in pairs, in alignment or within the same tombs, and by round constructions of a probable sacral nature. Even further south, the domus de Janas necropolis of Genna Accas rises, dug into the rock, with three tomb circles.
