A nuragic fountain sanctuary, after 3000 years not a pile of stones, but beautifully preserved / reconstructed, the water in it mirrors mystically, runs and ripples and everything is located in a beautiful garden.

One of the most important and complete testimonies that the Nuragic culture has left us. Su Tempiesu is a fountain temple dedicated to the worship of water deities and was built using the Opus Isodomum technique with perfectly crafted trachyte and basalt blocks. The origin dates back to the Late Bronze Age (13th century BC) and was frequented until the beginning of the Iron Age (4th century BC). Discovered in 1953, the site is located on a rock face where spring water flows and supplies the holy well with water.
