Nuragic Sacred Pond of Grutt'i Acqua

The Grutt'i Acqua complex is extraordinary, which includes a multi-lobed nuraghe, a sacred well, a village with hydraulic structures, a city wall, megalithic circles and small caves for collecting water. The village extends up to Portu Sciusciau, a possible Nuragic landing place. It is the largest in Sant'Antioco and one of the largest in Sardinia.On the top stands the nuraghe tower. On the slopes of the hill the bases of the Nuragic huts are visible. Where the vegetation is sparser, it is possible to see the perimeter walls of the huts, which were quite small in size.At this point there is a lake basin, an important source of water supply for the village. The banks show clear signs of human intervention with the artful arrangement of blocks and boulders that frame the so-called "nuragic lake".

Despite previous rainy days, there was no water in this watering hole. But it is definitely worth making this detour

There isn't much else to see here, apart from the Nuragic lake. However, the natural surroundings are absolutely magnificent, making a visit definitely worthwhile.
