A few km from Esterzili, in Barbagia di Seulo we meet the largest temple, a nuragic "megaron" known so far.

The sanctuary was built in the recent Bronze Age, at the end of the 13th century. AVANTI CHRIST and if he survived in a pre-existing nuragic village that occupies the vast insularity of Mount Cuccureddì. Some huts of the oldest inhabited area were incorporated into the wall structures of the enclosure.

From the enclosure to today, if he only keeps one row, while he arrives at the temple if he passes a vestibule, he elaborates which if he enters the room with traces still of a worked floor.

The temple building is built with roughly cut blocks of schist arranged in rather regular horizontal rows.
It has an elongated rectangular shape 22.50 x 7.79 m.

During the excavations I bring a small treasure from the Roman age to indicate the use of the area in later times.
The most ancient and important finds are or communicate a series of votive bronzes representing scenes of Nuragic life.

To get to the archaeological area, date Esterzili if you go to Monte Santa Vittoria and if you continue you will be signaled by the complex.
