Lu Brandali is an archaeological site located in Santa Reparata, Santa Teresa Gallura. Shaped over time by both nature and human activity, this highly detailed complex comprises:      The Nuraghe is built on a granite promontory, seamlessly incorporating the natural rock formation into its structure. The remains offer a glimpse of its original, complex design, which spanned split levels connected in part by a staircase leading to the upper section on the south-east side. Down the slope, rows of massive masonry are all that remain of a completely ruined tower, while the imposing bastion and the defensive towers of the nuraghe are better preserved. The entrance to the fortified area is clearly visible. The Village extends outside the fortified area, along the slopes of the hill and across the flat areas to the east and south of the complex. The settlement consisted of huts and a significant number of tafoni—natural granite cavities—and crevices within the rocky outcrops. These were used as shelters and dwellings or, if less hospitable, as tombs. The huts are stone masonry structures featuring spacious rooms ideal for daily living, alongside smaller spaces often used for specific tasks, such as small domestic workshops for making cooking pottery—a task traditionally assigned to women. Ongoing archaeological excavations continue to shed light on the daily life of the village. The rich variety of food remains found on site reveals the diverse diet of Lu Brandali's inhabitants, ranging from agricultural and pastoral products to game, fish, and seafood gathered along the shoreline and cliffs. Based on the artifacts discovered, it has been possible to establish a precise timeline: the late Middle Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age (14th–10th century BC). The Giants' Tomb This funerary monument is located in the southeastern part of the settlement. The sheer scale of these structures traditionally led to the belief that they were the burial places of legendary giants, though they were actually collective tombs for the village. The tomb at Lu Brandali held several dozen burials of both men and women, whose remains were uncovered during excavations alongside small bronze and amber ornaments. Two terracotta bowls found near the entrance were likely linked to burial rituals. In the area in front of the tomb, fragments of coarseware pottery represent the remains of offerings placed in honor of the deceased after burial. How to get there From Santa Teresa, take the SP 90 towards Capo Testa. Opening hours Lu Brandali daily 9:30 - 18:30. Guided tours at 9:30 - 10:30 - 11:30 - 16:30 - 17:30. Torre di Longosardo daily 10:00 - 13:00 / 16:00 - 20:00

The stunning beach of Piscinas is surrounded by towering, ochre-yellow sand dunes—among the tallest in Europe—harmoniously shaped by the mistral wind. Over the centuries, the native vegetation has perfectly adapted to this dune environment. In this fragile and unique ecosystem, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, the local wildlife is characterized by the Sardinian deer and the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), which finds this stretch of coast the perfect place to lay its eggs during the nights of June and July. The Piscinas area gently slopes from the surrounding hills down to the coastline, transitioning from rocky formations to the famous sand dunes. The Piscinas stream, which originates near Montevecchio, flows north of the Piscinas area. It is also fed by waters from the tunnels of abandoned mines, giving it a characteristic reddish hue—which is why the stream is also known as the "Red River". The Naracauli stream, on the other hand, flows into the Piscinas area from the mining village of Naracauli. Among the vegetation, you can find juniper, mastic (Pistacia lentiscus), broom, and spurge. Near the Naracauli stream, there are tamarisks, reeds, and other shrubs typical of the garrigue. The beach of Piscinas, like much of the Costa Verde and the western coast of Sardinia where the sea is rarely calm, is a favorite destination for surfers, who can enjoy their sport thanks to the frequent long, high waves. How to get there There are two ways to reach the beach: either by going through Guspini and touring the mining area, or by going through Arbus and heading down towards Ingurtosu and then Piscinas. If you follow the signs from Guspini, the road is unpaved for about 10 km, but in return, you will enjoy breathtaking landscapes and the famous mines of the Arbus region. If you choose the route through Arbus, after about 6 km from the town, you will reach the small mining hamlet of Ingurtosu, and then continue on to Piscinas beach. Photo www.sardegnaturismo.it
