Area archeologica di Matzanni, Archaeological site in Iglesias, Italy
The Matzanni archaeological site contains three sacred wells, a Nuragic village, and a Punic temple positioned at 700 meters above sea level.
The site demonstrates continuous human presence from prehistoric times through the Nuragic period, with structures dating to the third century BCE.
Twenty limestone offering tables, bronze fragments, and stone models of nuraghe were discovered in the semicircular courtyard of the main sacred well.
Access to the site requires coordination with the Sardinian Forest Authority, with entry points available from both Vallermosa and Villacidro towns.
The Punic temple of Genn 'e Cantoni, built with calcarenite blocks, provides views across southwestern Sardinia from its strategic position.
