(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Nuraghe la Prisgiona
Nuraghe La Prisgiona is the most remarkable and complete nuraghe complex in the Arzachena area, offering a rare glimpse into daily life during the Bronze Age. The site consists of a central tower (nuraghe) with a trilobed bastion and surrounding village of over 90 huts—many of which have been partially excavated—revealing an advanced and structured Nuragic community (c. 14th–9th century BC). One of the most fascinating discoveries is the so-called “meeting hut,” a large circular structure with seats built along the inner wall, believed to have hosted tribal councils or ceremonial gatherings. This evocative site is set among the rolling granite hills of Gallura, surrounded by cork oaks and Mediterranean vegetation, and allows visitors to connect with the island’s mysterious prehistoric past. Nuraghe La Prisgiona is included in: – Fine Wines & Archaeology Available upon request in: – Flavours of Longevity – The Gold of Sardinia
Tomba dei Giganti di Coddu Vecchiu
Coddu Vecchiu is one of Sardinia’s most impressive and best-preserved Tombs of the Giants, megalithic communal burial sites built by the Nuragic civilization during the Bronze Age (c. 1800–1600 BC). The site features a grand semicircular exedra—stone slabs forming a majestic facade—highlighted by a central granite stele standing over 4 m tall, making it one of the tallest known in Sardinia. Beneath the facade lies a long burial chamber (about 9–10 m), originally covered by earth and stones. Today, visitors can walk through this sacred site, immersing themselves in prehistoric ritual and community life. Giant Tomb Coddu Vecchiu is included in: – Fine Wines & Archaeology Available upon request (extra fee applies) in: – Flavours of Longevity – The Gold of Sardinia
