The sacred well is very interesting and well preserved, it looks like a descent into the afterlife. The only major problem is that it is not signposted and there is no way to get there easily. I got there following the tracks after the railway, at a certain point I turned right among the thorny shrubs, descending on the old dead tracks, and then back 50 meters. Basically it is just behind the abandoned building next to the station, but passing from there you have to climb over. Maybe if you start from where the siding ends (just before the station) it is easier.

Beautiful well, indecent the state of neglect and decay around it. I hope that such an ancient attraction will be protected and enhanced by the administration. Thank you

This archaeological site, of immeasurable beauty from a historical and architectural point of view, in fact remains incomprehensibly abandoned to itself. It is with great regret to ascertain the havoc it has had to suffer over the years. I hope that sooner or later it will be fixed to see it reborn. It is the hope of anyone who is passionate about Nuragic archeology.

Another sacred well, this is the Milis. In the municipality of Golfo Aranci. it was destroyed by railroad cobstrucão in the period 800. I felt some vibrations and I didn't like them .. ?? everyone believes in what they want .. Ah, the well has 40 steps down So I couldn't get to the bottom ?? How to get : Use Olbia and keep the coast of Pittulongu (SP 82), Once you reach the Golfo Aranci station, if you continue your feet along the railway line for about 300 m: the well is located in the diameter of the underground wall of the sea @ Pozzo sacro Milis

The 5 stars are for the state of conservation and resistance of this ancient structure. The level of signaling of the monument and the ease of reaching it deserve a star as well as the ability of the municipality to enhance and make this artefact of Nuragic archeology usable for the community. Why not make sure that, in addition to the usual sea, these places are an attraction for a committed and studious tourism? The country would certainly benefit from it. Moreover, many people go and look for the structure and not finding indications they desist from visiting it.

Roman Theatre

The Roman Theatre of Mérida is a construction promoted by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa in the Roman city of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania (current Mérida). It was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE. One of the most famous and visited landmarks in Spain, the Roman Theatre of Mérida is regarded as a Spanish cultural icon and was chosen as one of the 12 Treasures of Spain.

The theatre has undergone several renovations, notably at the end of the 1st century or early 2nd century CE (possibly during the reign of Emperor Trajan), when the current facade of the scaenae frons was erected, and another in the time of Constantine I (between 330 and 340), which introduced new decorative-architectural elements and a walkway around the monument. Following the theatre"s abandonment in Late Antiquity, it was slowly covered with earth, with only the upper tiers of seats (summa cavea) remaining visible.
