Pozzo Sacro del Predio Canopoli

The Pozzo Sacro di Predio Canopoli is a Nuragic sacred well in Perfugas, Sardinia, discovered in 1923 by landowner Domenico Canopoli and excavated by Antonio Taramelli. Dating to approximately 1300 BCE, it is one of the best-preserved well temples in Sardinia. The underground sanctuary features an atrium, descending staircase, and circular chamber with stone benches, built from precisely cut limestone blocks from the nearby Laerru quarries using dry-stone technique without mortar. Excavations yielded a bronze bull statue (7th-6th c. BCE) and a Phoenician bone feline figurine (9th-8th c. BCE).
