It feels like every tree and stone wants to tell you ancient stories. This time I managed to visit the holy well too. Inside the foundations of a former temple a stair leads down to a small chamber with the stone framed well. The whole stone work of the chamber and the staircase consists of very fine carved stone blocks with regular narrow seams. It stands in stark contrast to the rough blocks the nuraghe are made off. And it was stunning considering this fine work had been created with Bronze Age tools a couple of thousand years ago.
I finished my visit in historically correct chronological order at the 12th century church and then went to the bar at the entrance of the site for a snack and a coffee. Back on the motorway I drove a few minutes and then left it for the Nuraghe Losa site which again is situated right beside the motorway.
The site as a whole is not that impressive as it lacks the ancient woods and rocks of Santa Cristina. The Losa site is cleared from any high growing vegetation which allows a good impression of the whole complex which consists of a stone wall surrounding an area the size of a football field which is mostly empty aside from the nuraghe itself. But this nuraghe is special, one of the larger ones and in very good condition. The complex of three round stone buildings with the one in the middle the most complete is very impressive from the outside.
