Giants of Mont'e Prama

The limestone statues, standing two meters tall, depict warriors, archers, and boxers equipped with shields, weapons, and protective gear.

The collection of stone fragments was unearthed in 1974 when farmers discovered a large limestone head while working in their field.

The sculptures express military and religious values of the Nuragic society, combining local traditions with Mediterranean artistic influences.

The Giovanni Marongiu Municipal Museum in Cabras and Archaeological Museum in Cagliari display the restored statues for public viewing.

The restoration process involved assembling over five thousand stone fragments to reconstruct these sculptures from the Iron Age period.
