103.2 and 103 a.2: Nuraghe Sa Domu ‘e s’Orcu and Nuragic Spring Mitza Salamu – Dolianova

103.2 and 103 a.2: Powerful, fascinating even under a gray winter sky, the Nuraghe Sa Domu ‘e S’Orcu rises above a rocky massif in the midst of a superb landscape, with wide views over the entire Parteolla up to the Gulf of Cagliari and the mountains of Iglesiente. It dates back to the 2nd millennium BC and is the main monument of the territory of Dolianova. (supramontes.blogspot.)

The Nuragic Fountain Mitza Salamu, also in Dolianova, is just a few steps from the Nuraghe Sa Domu ‘e S’Orcu, in an area rich in springs and wells of various ages. From an architectural point of view, the sacred area seems to recall, at least in general lines, structural models from an earlier age.

The photos of the Nuraghe Sa Domu ‘e S’Orcu are by Lorenzo Muntoni, Bibi Pinna, and Dolianova Archeologica. Those of the Nuragic fountain of Mitza Salamu are by Marco Cocco.
