Built on a sheer edge at an altitude of 325 m, the Sa Fogaia nuraghe is located within the park of the same name, on the east side of the Siddi giara. Built with blocks of basalt in the natural state or roughly hewn, Sa Fogaia is a very particular corridor nuraghe, complex and irregular, composed of 3 large megalithic structures flanked by several secondary buildings. The first and oldest structure (the actual corridor nuraghe), datable to the early Middle Bronze Age, has a very unique Y-shaped tricuspid shape (seen from above its profile refers to that of the tombs of giants), with an elevated entrance located at 5 meters from the ground, which is accessed via an exceptional stepped ramp carved into the wall thickness. The other two structures, added in a second nuragic construction phase, lean on the main structure on two sides, and are equipped with a tholos chamber, other rooms, corridors, a courtyard, stairs, terraces, etc. Around the south side and inside the courtyard you can also see the wall remains of various rectangular rooms, attributable to a phase of reuse of the nuraghe in the late Punic and Roman age.
