    Hiking

    Su cuile, sheepfold in Italian, has a structure similar to a hut and remotely resembles the best known Apulian trulli. It is hypothesized that the origin of the construction technique of the Supramonte sheepfolds derives directly from the Nuragic culture, as the needs of the shepherds of the time did not differ from the recent ones. Another interesting circumstance is that, around most of the sheepfolds, there are still today important archaeological remains and very often the ruined walls of the Cuiles are confused with the Nuragic ruins.
