Villaggio di Tiscali

The Village of Tiscali represents one of the most evocative and intriguing late Nuragic settlements, hidden within a huge natural cave that is not easy to access, in a harsh corner of the Supramonte of Barbagia on Mount Tiscali.The location of the village in such a well hidden site has given rise to multiple suggestions and interpretations, the most accredited seems to be that of a refuge for the Sardinia people during the Roman conquest of Sardinia.The settlement consists of about a hundred rooms and rooms distributed to the north and south of the sinkhole, some walls lean directly on the rocky walls or exploit the shape of the rock.The structures have a rectangular, quadrangular, circular or elliptical plan.The settlement of Tiscali represents a unique case for topographical and architectural originality still under study.
