ビッダノアモンテレオーネ/ヴィッラノーヴァモンテレオーネの天然記念物・トップ14

An adventurous approach, barking dogs, thorny undergrowth. The dolmens were great, but unfortunately the hiking trail was not well maintained, so we turned back with our son.

Plains with a primordial appearance, large green spaces bordered by imposing rock formations, isolated or in rows, with caves dug by nature and inhabited by man over the millennia

The caves are accessible from the road across a meadow. However, there are no paths, despite other claims to the contrary. We didn't find one, and the thistles and thorns make hiking less enjoyable. The area and the view are, of course, wonderful.

The path passes through the Domus de Janas of S'Ena de Cannuja, ancient pre-Nuragic tombs carved into the rock, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. This necropolis includes six tombs dug into a trachytic ridge. The tombs were presumably reached using carvings dug into the rock face similar to those still preserved in the Domus de Janas Sos Furrighesos necropolis in Anela.

At the top of Mount Torru there is a vast amphitheater which houses the majestic Torru nuraghe, dominating the entire peak. The nuraghe, a typical megalithic building of ancient Sardinia, was developed during the Nuragic age between 1900 and 730 BC. This structure, built with blocks of soft trachyte, rests directly on the rock which acts as a natural bastion. The view from here is wide and breathtaking.

Within this locality you can find a typical Sardinian sheepfold with dry stone walls, the Tore Argentina, once used to defend against sea attacks by enemies, sa domo rutta, a former granary or warehouse now in ruins and infinite beautiful paths completely immersed in the Mediterranean scrub where you can breathe the scent of Mediterranean scrub mixed with salt.

Wonderful view through the rock window

A rock formation that creates a beautiful natural window onto the surrounding coast.
