The archaeological exhibition “Su Monte” was born in Sorradile in January 2015. Set up in the premises of the renovated former Casa del Fascio, located in front of the church of San Michele, it owes its name to the locality of the same name in which an important cultic complex from the Nuragic period was identified. Located on the left bank of Lake Omodeo, the Su Monte complex has been the subject, since the late 1990s, of several excavation campaigns that have brought to light structures with unique characteristics and numerous finds of extraordinary interest. The sanctuary is developed within an elliptical-shaped wall, of considerable size, which encloses a set of structures made with expertly squared ashlars in the local trachyte. The geographical location of the complex, situated in central Sardinia, and the presence of the Tirso River along its borders, decreed its importance as a place not only of worship but also of passage. The area of the sanctuary was frequented, with alternating fortunes, from the Ancient Bronze Age (1800-1600 B.C.) until the Late Punic Age (about 250 B.C.). The exhibition includes a trachyte reproduction of the altar basin, a wide selection of ceramic and lithic artifacts, and an exceptional series of votive bronzes.
