Fonte Sacra Su Tempiesu

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:07:42

Set in dramatic hill country near the dusty town of Orune , the Fonte Sacra Su Tempiesu is a sophisticated and elegant nuraghic well temple, dating from the 2nd millennium BC. Its distinguishing feature is the strange keyhole-shaped entrance to the well. The temple displays a strange keyhole-shaped entrance with stairs leading down to the well bottom, and it’s oriented in such a way that on the day of the summer solstice sunlight shines directly down the well shaft.
