The Nuraghe Paddaggiu, whose name in Sardinian means ‘haystack’, is an important archaeological site located along the road from Castelsardo to Valledoria, near the Roccia dell'Elefante. The nuraghe represents one of the most significant finds in the area, dating back to the Nuragic period, a civilisation that flourished in Sardinia from the Bronze Age until the 2nd century B.C., at the height of the Roman era. The nuraghe was built on a hill, as was customary in order to obtain a strategic view of the surrounding territory. Originally, the complex consisted of a main tower with the typical ‘tholos’ roof, a bastion with two lateral towers, and a strong surrounding wall that also enclosed the area occupied by the village of stone huts, topped with thatched roofs.

The tour will mainly take place in the territory of Castelsardo, on the scenic roads surrounding the area. The first stop will be at Cala Ostina, with its golden sands, and then we will move in the direction of the summit of Monte Ossoni from where we can admire the panorama from above.
