To date, our forays outside the time and cultural boundaries of nuraghic civilisation have been limited to brief glances at what preceded that world, back in prehistory.
Aristotle reminds us that each reality has its roots deep in the past, or rather in ‘a’ past.
A temple, a village, four giants’ tombs: together, they form yet another architectural microcosm from the nuraghic period.
Historians often tell us that religious-purpose buildings tended to be located in high places which formed a sort of natural altar. It’s certainly difficult to say how real the connection between height and sacredness is from a rational standpoint.
What we call ‘culture’ is the sum of elements which form the world of each human being: the spaces of life and those of death. The settlements, the places of worship and the grave sites.
This monument and the archaeological area where it stands provide a precious learning experience. This is largely due to the presence next to the archaeological area of a museum.
Il nuraghe Majori è situato a circa due chilometri da Tempio Pausania, in località Conca Marina, in prossimità di una collinetta granitica che si trova a 498 metri di altezza sul livello del mare, ricoperta di un fitto bosco misto di sughera, leccio, roverella e frassino.
Words such as city, town and village, which we use to distinguish between different types of settlement, can be misleading.
The territory of the Municipality of Irgoli, with its rich archaeological heritage, was densely inhabited from Neolithic to historical times. The sacred area of Janna ’e Pruna is one of its most significant sites.
