The holy well is located in the historical centre of Perfugas, close to the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli.<\/p>\n
The structure of the well was built using finely processed limestone blocks arranged in even rows<\/strong>. It has a classic layout typical of this kind of structure. A paved rectangular atrium precedes the entrance. A staircase with 8 steps<\/strong> with terraced vault leads into the perfectly circular well chamber<\/strong>, truncated in elevation, but unfortunately the roof is missing. \u00a0A drainage system is linked to the well and is made up of five limestone slabs with water drainage ducts.<\/p>\n
The area around the well is cordoned off by a wall of large trachyte blocks, built on top of the remains of a previous rectangular \u201cin antis\u201d temple. The remains of a Nuragic village can be found near the well.<\/p>\n
Various ex voto<\/strong> have emerged from the archaeological excavations which confirm the site’s function as a place of worship. The bronze statue depicting a bull<\/strong> is particularly noteworthy and is currently on display at the Museo Nazionale “G. A. Sanna” in Sassari<\/a>.<\/p>\n
