“The Pidighi locality, located 5 kilometers north of Solarussa, features the two nuraghi Pidighi and Muru Accas, which are a few hundred meters apart, both tancato. The excavations conducted by Alessandro Usai from 1994 to 2008 have revealed a nuraghe with a main tower and a secondary tower enclosing a courtyard and connected by walls. The extensive village appears to be bordered by a wall and consists of complex houses with a central courtyard and rooms arranged around it. The nuragic spring has a horseshoe shape with a semicircular enclosure added in a later phase. The settlement and spring reached their peak development between the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age.” (Excerpt from “Sardegna Archeologica” – guide n° 57, edited by Emerenziana Usai and Raimondo Zucca, published by Carlo Delfino Editore in 2015).
