Serra Orrios Nuragic Village

Villaggio nuragico di Serra Orrios

A well-preserved Nuragic village site, with more than seventy round stone houses grouped around two temples, and guided explanations of Sardinia's prehistoric civilization.

The Serra Orrios site lies on a basalt plateau about 10 km northwest of Dorgali and dates to roughly 1500–900 BC. About 70 round stone houses survive, grouped around courtyards and wells, along with two rectangular temples and a gathering place. It is a good place to understand the village layout of the Nuragic civilization. A guided visit takes about 45 minutes, with admission around €5–8, and a combined ticket with the Dorgali Archaeological Museum is available. Midsummer sun is strong at noon, so bring sun protection.
