Temple of Antas

The Temple of Antas is a Roman sanctuary set within limestone hills in Sardinia, marked by standing columns, an altar area, and partially reconstructed walls. The site displays typical Roman building techniques and was built on top of earlier religious structures.

The site began as a Nuragic settlement, then transformed into a Punic sanctuary around 500 BCE. The Romans later renewed and expanded it during the reign of Augustus.

The temple shows how beliefs changed over time, with people first worshipping a Punic deity and later honoring a Roman god at the same location. The building itself tells this story through its layers and reconstructions.

The site has parking facilities and informational panels in multiple languages to help you navigate. The drive from the village takes about 20 minutes on marked roads through hilly terrain.

Ancient quarries in the rock face around the sanctuary still show where workers extracted limestone blocks. The marks and grooves reveal how Romans sourced the stone for their construction.
