Santa Teresa Gallura: the archaeological site of Lu Brandali and the Longonsardo Tower reopened to the public

Easter and the start of the tourist season in Santa Teresa Gallura were not only characterized by the concert, held on the large stage in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele I, "The Easter Festival 2024", an event organized in order to attract a regional tourist presence and not, particularly youthful, but also, from a historical-cultural point of view, of the reopening to the public of the archaeological site of Lu Brandali and the Longonsardo Tower.

Managed for years by the CoolTour Gallura cooperative, they represent the oldest and relatively modern history of the town overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio. The Lu Brandali archaeological site is an archaeological village built more than 3000 years ago. «Thousand-year-old stones immersed in the Mediterranean scrub that make up a splendid giants' tomb and a Nuragic hut village», writes CoolTour Gallura. «The very ancient history of a civilization - the Nuragic one - very advanced, which left no writing but which, through all the finds, tells glimpses of life, customs and habits of the past». A dive into the past therefore, with the charm represented by what remains of those ancient inhabitants of "Lungoni", which can be integrated with the Lu Brandali Exhibition, which offers an evocative 3D experience. Lu Brandali is located in Santa Teresa Gallura, on the road to Capo Testa, and can be visited from 9.30am to 6.30pm.

Another important historical site is that of the Torre di Longonsardo, or Torre Spagnola, considered the symbol of the town, represented in the banner of the Municipality, «a monument from the 1500s - CoolTour Gallura always writes - with one of the most beautiful panoramas in the world and within it an exhibition on the coastal towers of Sardinia with fictionalized audio guides." The tower is open to the public every day, from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00.
