    Nice outdoor museum consist of 3 landmarks. Impressive since these landmarks are very very old but still in a pretty good condition. Especially the well is impressive and worth a visit. There is a small cafetaria as well as a small museum shop. Entry ticket als providers access to a local, nearby museum.

    Beautiful archeological site referred to the nuragic era. Worth a visit! With the ticket you can visit 3 different sites: Christian one, the Nuragic site with a big Nuraghe in the middle and the St. Cristina's well which is breathtaking. There is a bar, toilets (free) and parking is also free of charge. Ticket is 5 euro per person. Duration of the whole walk will be around 1 hour, maybe 1.5 hours. No gluten free options at the bar so be ready to make your own sandwich if you want to eat in the pic nic area.

    One of the best, most well taken care of archeological sites in Sardinia. We especially enjoyed the guided tour with local archeologist Dr. Sebastiano Demurtas.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most important sites in Sardinia, well-kept and well-preserved, the furnishings of the reception area are appreciated and relaxing, integrated into the natural environment.

  • 5/5 Rooney W. 8 months ago on Google
    Really amazing place and a great deal for the price. People are saying to read more information but I found the leaflets they give quite enough. The hypogeum is the star of the show but there is a Nuraghe and old church to see too.

  • 5/5 Danilo S. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful archeological place! It is a pleasure to try to understand the history and decrypt the different life approaches which were worthwhile for the ancient citizens! Maybe there is a correlation between the water well and the ancient Egypt. You can dream band think that in this magic place! 😉

  • 5/5 Kamila �. 5 years ago on Google
    It is a magical place just a few meters from the main road. The entrance is 5€ for an adult and is totally worthy. Apart from the marvelous water well which seems impossible to be built 1200 BC, there is also very impressive nuraghe village with one main tower which can be climbed up to the top. At the entrance there is also a bar with paninis and tobacco

  • 5/5 Moustach m. 1 year ago on Google
    There are more buildings at this park than I expected to be. The sacred well and the craftsmanship behind it, is stunning for the time period it was created.

  • 5/5 Iside G. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a wonderful place! Clean and well kept, both the well and the village. Definitely worth to spend few hours roaming its grounds.

  • 5/5 Bert P. 1 year ago on Google
    Impressive even with a ghostlike lady sluwly walking rounds around the well and trying to explain about equinox effect of the sun in the well. Impressive nuraghe and lobg nyraghic structure. Quiet atmosphere, good pathways. Nice bar.

  • 4/5 Andre B. 1 year ago on Google
    Super easy to reach by car. Well preserved archeological site, I would’ve wished for a little more information material, or an option to join a tour in English (we saw a tour in Italian).

  • 5/5 Maura P. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent open-air museum, we could also find it open on Easter day. Very easy to get to, you can get there from 131 and it's well signaled. Staff is helpful and attentive to inform about all services. Picnic areas and ample space for relaxation are available. Guided tour also available, but I did it in Italian so I don't know about the English one. The archaeological sites of this place are incredible and perfectly maintained.

  • 5/5 Wietse W. 11 months ago on Google
    Unique... The well is a very powerful construction! Nicely kept park and friendly wardens

  • 5/5 Davide S. 10 months ago on Google
    Unique place, worth coming for its symbolic relevance. We definitely recommend to book a guided tour to the temple, since there are plenty of insightful details one fails to catch only looking at the panels placed on site.

  • 5/5 Jerome F. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing sites for history lovers.

  • 5/5 Eric B. 7 months ago on Google
    The compound contains three spots... The Christian village, the nuraghe and the pozza. Each of it is worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Silvia V. 7 months ago on Google
    loved it - our tour guide, Maria Cristina was amazing. The entire site is worth seeing, and the water temple is so mysterious and fascinating. So much we don’t know about an entire civilization! The guided tour is free with entry ticket.

  • 5/5 Luigi C. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing spot between Nuragic age and Christianity in the same location. Unique.

  • 3/5 Lynds 7 months ago on Google
    Interesting place but sadly the many visitors today were clambering over the ancient walls. It needs clearer signs to tell people not to do this and perhaps station someone by the well to keep people off the structure. Enjoyed seeing the nuraghe here.

  • 2/5 Tomas B. 7 months ago on Google
    Another really nice place that stands a lot behind its potential. One has the feeling that selling tickets to a place and placing few direction arrows with one paragraph information is the italian standard. LIke really, that's it. No details, no depictions, also no information what archaelogical items were found on site. There's so much which could be done these days to make the place really informative. I had to google myself all details about this place after paying 9E quite sad.

  • 4/5 Eleonora S. 6 years ago on Google
    Just a beautiful and traditional place to visit in a sunny day, overall to understand sardinia's secrets

    (Translated by Google) Relevant archaeological area with quality air. Possibility of picnics with barbecue area. Culture and leisure. (Original) Area archeologica rilevante con aria di qualità. Possibilità di fare pic nic con area barbecue. Cultura e svago.

  • 5/5 Maria Gavina M. 5 years ago on Google
    Very interesting place to visit - well maintained. Every hour there is a guided tour, otherwise you can walk around by yourself, there are information in the important sites. The pozzo di Santa Cristina is the jewel.

  • 5/5 Nico Martijn H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, great people, great view

  • 3/5 Pradhan B. 4 years ago on Google
    While it is an interesting archeological site I did not feel it was overwhelming. Very nice, fresh air humble but it's not like visiting a major ruin.

  • 5/5 Federica S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Andrew T. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 francesca r. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a magical place and this alone would be enough to make it a noteworthy destination. If we also add the care and respect with which it is managed, the stars available for evaluation should be increased because 5 is not enough. The site is located just off the state road 131 with a dedicated exit. Ample parking with direct access to the ticket office and services. Attached restaurant and bar (recommended). The entrance ticket has a cost that I allow myself to define ridiculous because it offers not only access to an area of ​​24 hectares but also guided tours with truly prepared and engaging guides and the possibility of accessing the Ethnographic Museum of the nearby Paulilatino. In short, it exceeds all expectations. (Original) È un luogo magico e già questo basterebbe a renderlo meta degna di nota. Se ci aggiungiamo anche la cura e il rispetto con cui è gestito bisognerebbe aumentare le stelle disponibili per la valutazione perché 5 non bastano. Il sito si trova appena a ridosso della statale 131 con un'uscita dedicata. Parcheggio ampio con accesso diretto alla biglietteria e ai servizi. Ristorante e bar annessi (consigliati). Il biglietto di ingresso ha un costo che mi permetto di definire ridicolo perché mette a disposizione non solo l'accesso a un area di ben 24 ettari ma anche visite guidate con guide veramente preparate e coinvolgenti e la possibilità di accedere anche al Museo Etnografico della vicina Paulilatino. Insomma superiore ad ogni aspettativa.

    (Translated by Google) I have no words to express the sensations you get from visiting this wonderful archaeological park, perhaps one of the most beautiful in Sardinia. In a complex of monuments it is located within a park of olive trees, some of which are centenary. The sacred well of Santa Cristina is certainly the most magical place. Not to be missed . (Original) Non ho parole per esprimere le sensazioni che si hanno a visitare questo stupendo parco archeologico , forse uno dei più belli della Sardegna. In complesso di monumenti si trova all’interno di un parco di ulivi di cui alcuni centenari . Il pozzo sacro di Santa Cristina è sicuramente il luogo più magico . Da non perdere .
