Nuragic spring of Is Pes

The spring is located in the vicinity of Medau Is Pes , protected by a small grove of lush poplars and eucalyptus trees.
The site is located near the nuragic road called “Su mori de sa Santa “, so called because – before the construction of the S.S.126 – it was the route taken by the Madonna of Monserrato who, from the bishop’s seat of Iglesias, was brought to the cathedral of the old village of Tratalias.
In ancient times, the spring was meant to be a stopping point for those who traveled this very road, to quench their thirst and then continue the long journey.
It was also used to quench the thirst of transport animals, such as horses and oxen.
