Things to see and do Villagrande

This rather wild gorge was carved out of pink porphyry by the Rio 'e Forru, which flows along the bottom. It is here that pools of crystal-clear water have formed, as well as the so-called "giant's potholes", i.e. basins carved out of the living rock by all the little waterfalls that dot the area. The largest of these jumps some 20 m. It is advisable to visit this gorge in the dry season, to enjoy the coolness of the torrent, and above all to avoid venturing into it in stormy weather or during periods of high water.

The archaeological area of S'Arcu 'e is Forros is located on a hill at the foot of the Gennargentu in a wild environment (if we disregard the highway below). It is a set of cult buildings, including at least three temples located in a large village that has been only partially explored. These big temples called "megaron" are characterized by a rectangular plan, unusual in the Nuraghic architecture. The site of S'Arcu 'e is Forros proves to be, to this day, the most important metallurgical center of the Nuraghic Sardinia.
