On reflection, stone is perhaps the element that most characterises the island’s environment and, sinking its roots deep into the earth, makes it stable and secure. Often carved into the most bizarre shapes by nature’s infallible chisel, at other times skilfully modelled by the human hand to erect mighty and solid towers, such as the one that guards the mountain border between the territories of Domus de Maria and Teulada.
Inside the ‘Sa Perdaia’ nuraghe, far from the buzz of the beaches and surrounded by huge boulders skilfully squared and superimposed by our ancestors, only an almost imperceptible buzzing noise overlaps the silence surrounding this imposing guardian of history.
