- Pozzo Santa Cristina - The Santa Cristina well temple, dating back to the 12th century BC, stands as a significant testament to the religious and architectural achievements of the Nuragic era. It features a Dromos (vestibule) and a stone staircase leading to an underground “tholos” chamber. The temple is encircled by a perimeter wall (themenos). Within the Sacred Well area, a local guide will take visitors to explore the well temple and the Christian Village, where the quaint Medieval rural church of Santa Cristina, constructed by the Camaldolese Monks, is situated. Approximately 50 meters from the church, along a path, lies the stunning Nuraghe of Santa Cristina (16th century BC), a simple circular Nuragic stone tower.
- Museo Civico Giovanni Marongiu - Following the exploration of the Nuragic site of Santa Cristina, a short 20-minute drive will bring visitors to Cabras, home to the stone Giants of Monti Prama, which can be admired at the local archaeological museum.

The historical site of Santa Cristina can be found on the basalt plateau of Abbasanta. The site is named after the small countryside church of Santa Cristina, constructed during the 1200s, surrounded by a collection of cumbessias, compact homes originally designed to provide accommodation for pilgrims. This area, significant since the nuraghic era, is split into two parts: the first part houses the water temple (comprising an atrium, a descending staircase and a subterranean chamber with a tholos roof for the spring), a congregation hut featuring pebble flooring and a circular seat, and an assortment of additional small square and circular structures, assumed to be housing for the temple priests and the pilgrims. We are also set to witness the Giants of Monti Prama, exhibited at the Municipal Museum of Cabras. These are the only stone statues inherited from the ancient Nuraghic civilization, alongside models of nuraghi and betyls discovered in their vicinity.
