This will be an opportunity to be impressed and try to understand the unique phenomenon unique to Sardinia - the "Nuragic culture." Thousands of buildings like these are scattered across the island, containing residential buildings, among them metal tools processed at a high level, the beginning of which dates back to the second millennium BCE, and others that continued to function until the Roman period. We'll continue to stay in Cagliari for the last night.
