The Antigori nuraghe complex sits on a hill of the same name overlooking the Capoterra mountains and the Bay of Cagliari.
The peak of the hills, where a town and nuraghe towers stood. It is surrounded by a fortification made up of circular towers interconnected by curtain walls which incorporate parts of the natural rock. The entrance to the complex was recently brought to light thanks to an archaeological dig campaign.
As well as visiting the entrance, the circular-designed C tower, which preserves the chamber with false vault ceiling (tholos) and the access staircase, and the so-called quadrangular A chamber which incorporates two natural rock walls, while the other two are created with rows of mid-sized blocks can also be visited.
The name of the site is inextricably linked to the discovery of a large number of Mycenaean ceramics in association with nuraghe ceramics during the archaeological digs in the 1980s and ‘90s. For the first time, this is guaranteed proof of the existence of relationships between the two civilisations.
Take the trunk road SS 195 in the direction of Pula and turn right when you reach 17.400 km onto a tarmac road with no directions. Make a sharp left onto a dirt track hill and head along it for about 200 m, then left again onto another dirt track which leads to the foot of the hill. Climb the hill on foot and the nuraghe fortification is at the top.
