Where Tiscali is and why it is so special<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Tiscali village<\/strong> is located on the border between the Supramonte of Oliena<\/strong> and the Supramonte of Dorgali<\/strong>in a position that in itself tells a lot about his past. His localisation<\/strong> within a sinkhole<\/strong> natural makes it a place sheltered and protected from the weather<\/strong>difficult to detect from the outside and strategic for defence. Access is via impervious paths, such as the famous steep staircase of Surtana<\/strong> or the way a ledge suspended over the valley<\/strong>. This position has, over the centuries, made it a safe haven for people who populated the centre-east of the island<\/strong> in ancient times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the Roman conquest of Sardinia<\/strong>the site was used as refuge of the Sardinians<\/strong> resisting domination. It is a civil settlement<\/strong> and not a military structure, but its natural conformation allowed for dominate<\/strong> the valley below, guaranteeing safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nuragic village of Tiscali<\/strong> dates back toNuragic Age<\/strong>even if the chronological and cultural context of the archaeological evidence<\/strong> suggests a more complex story. Some scholars speculate that thesettlement<\/strong> may also have been attended during theRoman Age<\/strong> and up toearly middle ages<\/strong>. Le surface collections have allowed<\/strong> to recover ceramic and metal artefacts that testify to continuous use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A fascinating aspect is that, at the time of his most intense attendance, the Nuragic civilisation had been extinct for a few centuries<\/strong>. This makes Tiscali a case study<\/strong> important for interpreting the site<\/strong> in relation to the Italic-Etruscan settlements<\/strong> and contact with Roman rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n L'settlement of Tiscali<\/strong> presents two construction phases<\/strong> distinct. The dwellings, called hut<\/strong>, are of medium and small size<\/strong>, realised dry with stones<\/strong> by freshly hewn local limestone<\/strong> e regularised by filling with mortar<\/strong> the gaps between stones<\/strong>. In some cases, the structures rest on a wall plinth<\/strong> and show circular plan<\/strong> or slightly elliptical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The dwellings include cupboards and niches<\/strong>probably used to store food or utensils, and enclosures for keeping animals<\/strong> testifying to a agro-pastoral exploitation of the territory<\/strong>. In some places you can still observe frascas<\/strong> and facilities of modest thickness<\/strong>. Their state of preservation<\/strong> is surprisingly good considering their age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Supramonte of Oliena and Dorgali<\/strong> is a scenario rugged and wild valley<\/strong>characterised by cliffs<\/strong>caves and deep canyons. The Mount Tiscali<\/strong> stands like a ridge of a mountain<\/strong> imposing, and to climb up there is to pass through environments of great beauty, among Mediterranean maquis and spectacular views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La Lanaittu Valley<\/strong>, at the foot of the mountain, is one of the most attractive starting points to reach the village. L'car towards Lanaittu and then<\/strong> the footpath takes you on a journey that is as physical as it is spiritual, culminating in a place where time seems to stand still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The excavations in 1999<\/strong> played a key role in clarifying many aspects of Tiscali. The surface collections allowed the recovery of materials<\/strong> ranging from ceramic fragments to everyday objects. This confirmed that the area was used in different periods and that its function changed over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Archaeologists have uncovered the good state of preservation<\/strong> of many structures and pointed out that the site was built in a naturally sheltered and protected spot<\/strong>with a entrance with lintel<\/strong> which served as the main passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n L'archaeological area of Tiscali<\/strong> is a archaeology hidden in the ridge<\/strong> of a mountain, which makes it unique not only in Sardinia but also in the entire Mediterranean area. It is considered a a must for enthusiasts<\/strong> of history and archaeology<\/strong>not only for its historical value but also for its scenic charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the point of view cultural<\/strong>the site represents a interest in analysing the first<\/strong> forms of settlement<\/strong> post-Nuragic and for understanding the nuragic civilisation<\/strong> in its decline and transformation under Roman influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To reach the Tiscali village<\/strong> it is necessary to address aexcursion<\/strong> of medium difficulty. It is strongly recommended relying on guides<\/strong> experts, both to navigate the paths of the Supramonte<\/strong>and to receive historical and cultural explanations directly on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common route starts from the Lanaittu Valley<\/strong>but there are variants that also allow you to discover places such as Sa Oche<\/strong> e Sa Barva<\/strong>. During the ascent, you walk through challenging sections, but the reward is the view of the village sheltered and protected from the weather<\/strong> and immersed in a unique atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The context in question will constitute<\/strong> always an intense experience, not only for history lovers but also for those seeking direct contact with nature. Bringing water, suitable shoes and taking the time to savour the walk are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many visitors are impressed by the harmony between the village structures and the cliff face<\/strong> surrounding him. It is as if thesettlement<\/strong> had grown organically together with the sinkhole<\/strong>in a balance that has lasted for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Tiscali is a heritage that requires respect and care. Its good state of preservation<\/strong> is the fruit of centuries of isolation, but also of increasing attention from institutions, guides and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nuragic village of Tiscali<\/strong> remains a symbol of cultural resistance and human ingenuity, a place where the Sardinia was annexed to the administration of Rome<\/strong> but continued to maintain a strong and recognisable identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FAQ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.
