Nuraghe S'Omu 'e S'Orcu, meaning "the house of the ogre," is a Nuragic complex dating back to between 1500 and 900 BC. The imposing structure comprises a central tower, a bastion with an internal courtyard and cistern, and a rampart with five towers enclosing the Nuragic village. Traces of fire and smelting slag were found in one of the towers, evidence of metallurgical activity linked to the rich copper and tin deposits in the area.

According to legend, the Acquafredda Castle was built by the Gherardesca family, Counts of Donoratico, when they acquired southeastern Sardinia. In fact, in 1257, the fortress came into the possession of Ugolino of Donoratico, lord of the Cagliarani territory, immortalized by Dante in Canto 23 of the Inferno. However, the castle is older, as it is already mentioned in a papal bull of 1215. After Ugolino's death (1288), it passed into the possession of Pisa, then to the Aragonese (1324), and subsequently to several feudal lords until it was redeemed by Victor Amadeus III (1785). From the top of a mountain, the castle dominates the territory of Siliqua, four kilometers away. Climbing its slopes, the view sweeps from the green valley of the Cixerri to Cagliari, from the Marmilla to the Iglesias area. At dawn and dusk, their shadows extend across the valley.
