The Nuragic Complex of Malchittu promotes the archaeological remains of the region by dedicating an educational area to them: the tomb of the giants Coddu Ecchju and Li Lolghi, the nuraghe La Prisgiona, Albucciu and Tempietto di Malchittu and many others. There are seven in total, but only some of them are unmissable and the Petit Futé has listed them for you. You can buy a pass here, the price of which varies according to the number of sites chosen. You should know that it takes half a day to visit two of them. The most important sites are the nuraghe La Prisgiona, the tomb of the giants of Li Lolghi and that of Coddu Vecchiu.

The complex of Malchittu includes a nuraghe, a large hut, tombs and a temple dating from the Middle Bronze Age. The hut has a circular plan with a large diameter and projecting stone walls. The remains of the nuraghe, set against a rocky outcrop, can be seen by walking up the hill along a narrow gorge. On the right is the temple. The nuraghe is completely collapsed. On the other hand, the temple is clearly identifiable with its rectangular structure. The entrance is through a vestibule that runs along the rock and leads to a large room. Offerings were placed on the table at the back. Niches were built into the walls and a hearth was drawn into the floor with stones arranged in a circle. Six tombs have been discovered in the vicinity, but they are hidden by vegetation.
