Day Trip Details

We will meet at the specified time at Largo Carlo Felice in Cagliari, and then proceed to Barumini, located at the foothills of the Parco della Giara. Here, we will visit the impressive Su Nuraxi, recognized as the largest Nuragic complex in Europe.

During our visit, we will explore the remnants of the hut village, which was home to the Nuragic communities and is a World Heritage Site. We will also enter the central tower, known as the nuraghe, and learn about its historical significance.

Following our visit to Su Nuraxi, we will go to Casa Zapata, a residence built for the Sardinian-Aragonese Barons of Zapata, which now contains a small archaeological museum.

Before returning to Cagliari, we will stop in Pimentel to explore the Domus de Janas, ancient rock-hewn tombs dating back to the Neolithic period, known as Fairy Houses. There are at least 2500 of these structures across Sardinia.

The tour will conclude with our return to Cagliari after a total duration of 5 hours.
