Tamuli Archaeological Park

Tamuli Archaeological Park lies on a plateau a few kilometres from Macomer. A nuraghe, settlement remains, three Giants’ Tombs and six famous anthropomorphic betyls make it one of the Marghine’s richest and most atmospheric archaeological sites.

The Nuragic complex

The site includes a nuraghe and traces of a settlement, evidence of a community active during the Bronze Age.

The Giants’ Tombs

Three funerary monuments lie within the archaeological area. The best-preserved tomb still shows its exedra and burial corridor.

The six betyl stones

The best-known feature is a group of six conical anthropomorphic stones, locally called sas perdas marmuradas, standing close to the funerary area.

The Marghine landscape

The plateau and surrounding pasture add to the atmosphere of the site and help visitors understand the archaeology within its wider landscape.

In the Trip Planner

Tamuli is a strong archaeological stop and can be paired with Macomer or Sant’Andrea Priu, without crowding too many sites into the same day.
