Pascaredda, the prehistoric gallery grave, erected during the Bronze Age by the Nuragic civilization, is well guarded. This wide awake and fast lizard and hundreds of his collegues have an eye on the tourists. Here - and around the nearby "Nuraghe Agnu" and the sacred spring of "Li Paladini". All these sites are well guarded by the lizards since thousands of years.

Pascaredda is, like Li Lolghi, seen before, a prehistoric gallery grave, erected during the Bronze Age by the Nuragic civilization. These graves are called "Tombe dei giganti" (= "Giants' graves"). Hundreds of them have been found on the island of Sardinia, all dated to 2.200-1.600 BC. Seen here is the central stone with the semicircular hole at the bottom, typical for this kind of gallery graves. There are numerous theories about use or meaning of this small, portal-like hole.

Hundreds of them have been found on the island of Sardinia, all dated to 2.200-1.600 BC. Li Lolghi is 27 meters long - and the central stone (here seen from the back) is about 4 meters high.
