The Nuragic sanctuary of Santa Vittoria is an archaeological site in Serri, Sardinia. Its name comes from a Romanesque church built over a Roman place of worship at the westernmost tip of the complex. The site was first frequented during the Middle Bronze Age, the earliest phase of the Nuragic civilisation. From the late Bronze Age into the early Iron Age, it became one of the most significant expressions of that culture. Today, Santa Vittoria is the most important Nuragic complex yet excavated. The church itself, though later, marks a continuity of sacred use. The whole site offers a rare, layered glimpse into Sardinia’s prehistoric and classical past.
