Location
The name "Figu" in Sardinia is fascinatingly diverse, referring to several remarkable sites ranging from prehistoric Nuragic structures to ancient necropolises.
The Necropolis of Sa Figu near Ittiri in Logudoro is an archaeological park situated on a plateau, bearing witness to Sardinia's rich prehistory. Here, pre-Nuragic and Nuragic remains merge, offering deep insights into the island's early civilizations. Equally impressive are Nuraghes like Badde Figu near Macomer and Baccu Sa Figu in Castiadas, which stand proudly on hilltops as testament to the Nuragic culture.
Beyond archaeology, there is "Cala Sa Figu" in the unspoiled Sarrabus, along the southeastern coast. This sheltered bay is a small paradise of invaluable beauty, combining tranquility and natural splendor in an idyllic coastal stretch.
