Lotzorai is a jewel nestled in an incredibly beautiful landscape, protected by waters that have always made it a privileged place for human settlement, as evidenced by the archaeological remains scattered throughout the area.
You can take an experiential and sensory journey back in time, from the Late Neolithic (about 5,500 years ago) to the magical pre-Nuragic necropolis of Tracùcu – Genna ‘e Tramonti. Here, you enter a fairytale landscape, with rocks shaped by nature, time, and the prehistoric peoples who built the underground necropolis of some twenty Domus de Janas. It is precisely these “fairy houses” that lead us into a legendary world, where prehistory and magic intertwine.
At the northern edge of the town, the remains of the ancient church of Sant’Elena, built around 1100 as Lotzorai’s parish church for centuries, provide a powerful testament to the religious community’s ties to the area. In a territory of such beauty, a defensive garrison was inevitable, and the Medusa Castle, a vestige of a past history still shrouded in legend, represents a powerful symbol of identity for the local population.
