Itinerary
In the heart of Sardinia’s rugged Nuoro region, hidden within the limestone crest of Monte Tiscali, lies a place where time seems to stand still. This archaeological treasure is concealed inside a vast sinkhole, formed by the collapse of the mountain’s summit. The Tiscali Nuragic village is a unique site, blending history and nature in the wild landscapes of Barbagia. A visit to this mystical, ancient settlement offers an immersive journey into Sardinia’s prehistoric past and unspoiled wilderness.
