About
The well temple of Santa Cristina (12th cent. bc) is one of the finest examples of the elaborate religious architecture of the Nuragic era. The nuraghe structure consists of an entranceway (dromos) with steps leading to an underground, circular domed chamber (tholos), all surrounded by an enclosing wall (temenos). The walls of the stairway and underground tholos are made from finely cut ashlar blocks of alkali basalt rock. Santa Cristina can without a doubt be considered the most representative of the Sardinian well temples. In the area surrounding the temple are the remains of a village, at the front of which stands a "meeting hut" with a circular stone seat. www.pozzosantacristina.com

Beautiful experience if you are passionate about 'things' mystic .. magic .. on the female and also definitely archaeology! were many years that I wanted to spend visiting it.
It is open all day, large free parking and paid site visits.
Shop and bar inside.
We did not need to book being in 5 and you can visit the whole site on your own or every half hour benefit from a Guide at no additional cost.I recommend this solution because with a Guide you always know better la.storia and curiosities and you can also ask questions. The visit lasts about 50 minutes and is not binding but Recommendation the less hot hours because it is almost all under the sun.
There is also a fairly large and intact nuraghe and a small medieval Christian village with a small church.

The Sacred Well of Santa Cristina is a must for the Sardinian Traveler. Difficult in words to describe the beauty and spirituality of the site, you have to visit it and you have to do it with a sensitive, experienced and engaging Guide like Giuseppe. The beauty of the site is superb, but Joseph's explanations are necessary for the full understanding of such beauty.

To visit! It is a very well preserved necropolis, an interesting nuragic site where you will find the nuragic sanctuary with its sacred well, a Christian village and a nuragic village. The well is beautiful! And the price is reasonable 7€ per person

Beautiful Archaeological Park, inserted in a lovely place and managed perfectly. Special praise to Giuseppe, the Guide who accompanied us on the tour. Very prepared, helpful, he transmitted the power of the place with passion and expertise. There is still hope for our Cultural Heritage with these people.

If there's one spot in Sardinia that has blown me away, this is it. Amazing. Quite unbelievable how people 4.000 years ago have been able to make this. The alignment to the moon. The precise placement of the stones. Cut to perfection!

Everyone is very kind which prepares you well for the visit. The guide Maria Cristina is very good and friendly. The sacred well is spectacular and visiting the entire site, practically alone, was a great experience. Well done

We actually haven't been there yet. I saw a short but beautiful film on the archaeological site on TV (Rai 1 - Camper) a little while ago. And I got curious. I love Sardinia and have been there several times for work and holidays. I am very interested in the prehistory of the island. However, it seems to me that the look of the site from above also contains explicit female references. Which is fine, given the lunar astronomical significance

What a perfect place this was to learn about the fascinating nuraghic history of Sardegna. A few steps off the autostrada and it feels like you have moved through a time tunnel to the past. This lovely pastoral setting takes you to the sacred well that is truly a mystical experience. The eliptical stairway down to the well is so intact that it seems to be a recent recent construction instead of an ancient ruin. It brought back memories of the Mayan ruins for me. Then the walk across the fields on a stone path lead me to through the intimate Christian village and from there, through the trees to the ancient settlement of Nuraghic times. The two hours I spent wandering through history touched me in a way I didn't expect. It is a truly amazing place.

The trip to the "sacred well" was so very disappointing. All we saw was a hole in the ground with water!

Ciao,
il sito è aperto tutto l'anno ed è gestito dalla cooperativa "Archeotour", che ha anche il suo sito internet. Gli orari vanno dalle 08:30 all'imbrunire ma è preferibile prenotare per le visite. Sul loro sito trovi i contatti.
E' davvero molto bello, se riuscite visitatelo.
