Nuragic complex of S'Arcu 'e Is Forros
Nuragic complex of S'Arcu 'e Is Forros, Archaeological site in Villagrande Strisaili, Italy
The complex features a 17-meter-long megaron temple surrounded by a protective fence, with additional buildings for worship and metal casting workshops.
The site underwent two major construction periods: first during the Middle Bronze Age and second during the transition between Bronze Age and Iron Age.
The megaron temple contains an altar decorated with sculpted human faces, demonstrating the advanced artistic skills of the Nuragic civilization.
Located in the Riu Pira 'e Onni valley, the site stands at the boundary between Barbagia and Ogliastra areas, south of the Correboi pass.
Archaeological findings include bronze artifacts, an Egyptian scarab, and a Canaanite amphora with what researchers identify as a Philistine inscription.
