1.2 and 2.2 The “Tuttusoni,” built in the territory of Aglientu a short distance from the coast, is a probable complex nuraghe made of reddish granite blocks and equipped with a spiral staircase. Unfortunately, the upper part of the tholos of the nuraghe has collapsed, but the monument is still accessible from the inside, both from the main entrance, oriented towards the Northwest, and from the secondary entrance, bypassing a dense thicket.
The northernmost point of the mountain overlooking Luogosanto is called Monti Ruju, “red mountain,” due to the color that the soil retained by the structure of a nuraghe gave it until a few decades ago. Today, only a few rows of stones leaning against the monolith at the summit remain of the monument, but from the site, which offers a splendid view, one can reach the so-called “meeting hut,” unearthed by archaeological excavations and reconstructed with wood and branches.
Granite tafoni are also present on-site, presumably used in prehistoric times as rock shelters.
The photos of the nuraghe Tuttusoni in Aglientu are by Andrea Mura-Nuragando sardegna and Romano Stangherlin. Those of the nuragic complex and the tafoni of Monti Ruju in Luogosanto are by Romano Stangherlin.
