The at Turris Libisonis had taken longer than planned but the next was only about 15 minutes away. Monte d'Accoddi is around 5-6000 years old and looks like a ziggurat. Smaller than the ones of Mesopotamia it is nevertheless an impressive and unique in Europe. The walls are around 5m tall and the access ramp is 25m and there were lots of wildflowers around the site. Next to it is a large flat stone that could have been a sacrificial altar or feasting table as lots of animals bones were discovered around it. There is also the remains of a neolithic village and one of the many menhirs on the island next to the ramp. The lady at the was extremely helpful and there was also a useful explanatory app. The aerial photos gave a far better idea of the size and layout and it is strange that this is pretty much unheard of while Stonehenge - far more mundane - is world famous. The was in use from around 3000BC to around 1800BC, so it fell out of use around the time the nuraghe started being built. The current sanctuary dates back to 2800 BC. It was built by modifying a pre-existing ceremonial area. Half an hour for the visit is enough, ticket €5. It is excellent to combine this visit with the interesting small necropolis of “Su Crucifissu Mannu” with free access that is about one kilometer away from here. Unique prehistoric structure in Sardinia. Impressive kind of high altar surrounded by sacred stones (omphalos, standing stone, sacrificial slab). Definitely worth swinging by although access is a bit of a hassle. Ticket is 4 €, worth it You may ask at the desk for a guide in your language which you hand back. Detailed explanations about that 5,000-year old Osieri culture are fascinating. It was OK. Not as big as I thought when I looked at others photos. The person at the reception gave me a link with a guide in English which was good. It cost 4 euros each or 10 for a family. Nice view from the top. Shady area to park cars. Well maintained but mot many paths around it which probably gave it an authentic feeling. They were doing a presentation when I was there. Guided tours are available. Incredibile archeologia site. If you are driving there, don't follow Google, it will bring you to a closed route. Follow the directions on the road. This was one of the most interesting historic places I've visited in Sardinia. We were lucky to encounter a local archaeologist with a tourist group who took the time to explain the historical timeline of the place. I highly recommend visiting it. An unique site, wonderfully restored. You can walk all around the site. At the entrance, it's possible to scan a pdf with all the information in English or they have one hard copy which you can lend. Incredible site. The history and structure are surreal. It is easy to get in, and the staff is very friendly. Notes: Google Maps tried to take us to a farm next to the site, with no access to the location. Probably best to just find your own way from the road. Signage is clear. Google Maps is wrong about the open times. When we went (mid-October) they close at 6pm, but have the final entry time at 5pm. They don’t close for lunch.
