Nuraghe Su Motti
The Archaeological Park Su Motti in Orroli features a nuraghe, a Domus de Janas necropolis, and is an ideal starting point for exploring the Nuraghe Arrubiu.
The Archaeological Park Su Motti in Orroli is a fascinating testament to Sardinia's prehistoric past. In addition to an impressive nuraghe, a prehistoric stone tower, the park houses an extensive necropolis of about fifteen Domus de Janas. These pre-Nuragic cave tombs, carved into the rock, offer deep insight into the burial rituals and culture of the time.
The site is not only of historical importance but also scenic. A panoramic road leads from the historic center of Orroli to the park, which also integrates botanical elements. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility of nature while delving into the secrets of Sardinian prehistory.
The Su Motti Park also serves as an excellent starting point for a visit to the nearby Nuraghe Arrubiu, one of Sardinia's largest and most imposing nuraghes, known as the "Red Giant." The combination of these sites makes Su Motti a must-see for history and nature enthusiasts.
