An adventurous approach, barking dogs, thorny undergrowth. The dolmens were great, but unfortunately the hiking trail was not well maintained, so we turned back with our son.

The caves are accessible from the road across a meadow. However, there are no paths, despite other claims to the contrary. We didn't find one, and the thistles and thorns make hiking less enjoyable. The area and the view are, of course, wonderful.

The path passes through the Domus de Janas of S'Ena de Cannuja, ancient pre-Nuragic tombs carved into the rock, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. This necropolis includes six tombs dug into a trachytic ridge. The tombs were presumably reached using carvings dug into the rock face similar to those still preserved in the Domus de Janas Sos Furrighesos necropolis in Anela.

The nuraghe of the monumental complex of Santu Antine di Torralba (15th century BC), cornerstone of the entire settlement system of the Valle dei Nuraghi, represents the synthesis and culmination of the architecture of the Nuragic period. At the foot of the nuraghe lies the nuragic village, only partially brought to light by the excavations. The huts were built in Roman times as early as the 2nd century BC. and after a short period of neglect (middle of the 1st century BC) a rustic villa was built on the southern village structures. The virtual reconstruction of the Nuraghe Santu Antine represents an equilateral triangle centered on the central tower – or mastio – whose original height exceeded 25 meters. At the corners are three side towers that are almost identically spaced from each other, about 42 meters. The exterior brickwork follows a curvilinear pattern, with rows arranged in horizontal courses. Inside, there are long corridors, simple and spiral staircases to reach the upper rooms, silos for storing food, and a fountain system. The constant regularity of dimensions and symmetries suggest a unified project in which the desire to create large voids within the walls is clearly felt. The main entrance overlooks the courtyard in which stands the mastio, of which only the first and second chambers are complete; On the wall there are 7 monumental entrances, arranged symmetrically, from which you can reach the different rooms also on the first and second floor. At the two ends of the courtyard are the entrances to the west and east towers: in each of these chambers another passageway connects them to the north tower through monumental corridors. From the ground floor of the mastio, going up the spiral staircase, you reach the room on the first floor, which, like the lower one, has a tholos roof. The geometric lines of the planimetric scheme of the basement are also proposed on the upper floor: only the central tower had an additional level, now reduced to a few lines.
