Nuraghe Sa Domu 'e s'Orcu, Bronze Age archaeological site in Sarroch, Italy

Nuraghe Sa Domu 'e s'Orcu is a Bronze Age stone structure in Sarroch with two towers linked by a rectangular courtyard. The main tower stands at about 8 meters high and shows the typical construction style of Sardinian nuragic architecture.

The nuraghe was excavated in 1926 and again in the 1980s. Among the finds were fragments of Mycenaean pottery from the Late Bronze Age, showing that the area was directly or indirectly involved in trade with the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean. The older of the two towers is the one to the right of the entrance; the left tower and the courtyard were added later.

The name Sa Domu 'e s'Orcu means "House of the Orku", a man-eating figure of local myth; the same name is used on Sardinia for monuments of different kinds and appears in several spellings. The two round chambers of the towers are built without the usual niches and staircase, each covered by a slender tholos set off-centre.

Access to the site is via a walking path of about 300 meters from the parking area in Sarroch, marked with directional signs. The route is straightforward and easy to walk, as signage from the town is clearly visible.

Excavations in 1926 and the 1980s uncovered fragments of Mycenaean pottery from the Late Bronze Age, showing that this hilltop was tied, directly or indirectly, to trade with the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean.
