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
