Restored at last at the beginning of the 20th century. The big Fresco from the 12th century is one of the few examples of the Romanesque fresco painting in Italy.

This very famous grave of the giants, only few kilometers away from Arzachena, developed in two different phases. A tunnel grave was built between the 18th and 16th Century b.C.; and in nuragic time (16th to 12th Century b.C.) a semicircular area was developed for ritual purposes.

2 Kms South-east from Arzachena on the SS 125 lies Nuraghe Albucciu. A well known, prehistoric monument. Around the Nuraghe you can see the remnants of the Megaron temple Malchittu (approx. 1500 b.C.)
