In order to get an idea of everyday life during the Bronze Age, when the Nuragic civilisation was flourishing in Sardinia (XVI-VI century B.C.), a visit to the Serra Orrios Nuragic Village is essential. A centre with around a hundred buildings: 49 huts with subsidiary chambers and rooms for keeping livestock; two small megaron temples (Temple A and Temple B) with enclosure wall; two megalithic tombs; a Tomb of the Giants and an unidentified building.
Most of the huts formed blocks made up of several rooms with a courtyard and communal well. Standing out from the others is an isolated hut renamed the “meeting hut” because a bench-seating had been carved out of the internal wall, the entrance was preceded by a vestibule with large boulders and larger sized stones were used, which all led to the presumption that public activities or holy ceremonies were held in the hut.
Another feature of Serra Orrios is the presence of two megaron temples, both doubly in antis with vestibule and room and bench-seating. The architectural style of the small megaron temples, probably dedicated to the worship of water, perhaps inspired by Mycenaean architecture.
