Day Trip Details

Meet at the designated time at Largo Carlo Felice in Cagliari, then head to Barumini, located at the foothills of the Parco della Giara. Here lies the prominent Su Nuraxi, recognized as the largest Nuragic complex in Europe.

Upon arrival, we will explore the remnants of the hut village once inhabited by the Nuragic communities, a World Heritage Site. We will also visit the central tower, or nuraghe, to understand the civilizational links to the land.

After visiting Su Nuraxi, we will proceed to Casa Zapata, an elegant residence built for the Sardinian-Aragonese Barons of Zapata that currently houses a small archaeological museum.

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

The tour concludes with a return to the starting point in Cagliari after a total duration of 5 hours.
