102.2 and 104.2: The village of Matzanni, in Valermosa, includes three sacred wells and a series of circular huts. The best-preserved well is located in the northern sector of the area. Built with medium-sized local schist blocks, it leans to the southwest against a modest natural rock wall. The access to the chamber is offset from the axis of the tholos. The latter has collapsed on the northern side. The area in front of the entrance chamber is bordered by a series of curvilinear walls at different heights.
The nuragic complex of Casteddu ‘e Fanaris, spanning the territories of Decimoputzu and Vallermosa, dates back to the late Bronze Age (1300-1000 BC). It is a complex-type nuraghe, consisting of a central tower to which eight additional towers were subsequently added, forming a bastion. The latter is surrounded by a megalithic wall equipped with five towers with embrasures. Mainly granite boulders, a material available on site, were used for its construction.
