Setzu

A visit to the remains of the Nuraghic towers is of certain interest and also to those of the 'domus de janas' (chamber tombs), which confirm that the area has been inhabited since ancient times. The Domu 'e S'Orcu 'domus de janas' is situated right by the side of the road that leads from the village to the Giara plateau. This chamber tomb dates back to the Recent Neolithic and was hewn out of a single round block of yellowish white stone (calcareous marly gres). At Corte Murus we find blocks of stone and tiles which refer respectively to the walls and the roofs of dwellings from the Roman period. Again, near Nuraxi and Setzu, we find the remains of a Roman inhabited area from the Imperial period. The Parish Church of San Leonardo Confessore is found within the village. It is a seventeenth century building with a Latin cross floor-plan and a single nave with a barrel-vaulted ceiling and an annexed sacristy. Always inside the village, we find another church dedicated to San Cristoforo. Src: http://www.sardegnaturismo.it/offerta/cultura/cittaepaesi/paesi/setzu.html
