Above Preda Longa

OLTRELADOMOOOO

The demo-ento-anthropological itinerary describes some aspects of Loculi’s folklore, traditions, popular culture and strong religious vocation with a reference to the agro-pastoral activities and small historical, but relevant, craft realities present.

The environmental-naturalistic itinerary tells the peculiarities and relevance of the natural environment of the Loculi area which includes extraordinary landscapes, habitats, species and is part of the prestigious MAB-UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Tepilora, Rio Posada and Montalbo.

The historical-archaeological itinerary tells the testimonies left by the civilizations and cultures of the past and the relationships they established with the surrounding environment in the form of buildings and architectures.
The innumerable and different archaeological sites of different periods and conformations are still observable today even in the land close to the inhabited centre.

Preda Longa is a rocky outcrop which, located at 579 meters above sea level, dominates the landscape north of the village of Loculi.

Leaning against the rock, a Nuragic age structure can be observed, attributable to the 17th-12th century. It has a rather irregular sub-rectangular external plan. The entrance, facing east and of which two beams remain, gives access to an oblong room without a roof, while a second room has been created among the rocks with additions of masonry. To the north of this structure there is a clearing bordered by natural rocks joined by masonry. In the east, north and north-west direction, traces of masonry can be glimpsed among the natural rocky outcrops.

Coordinates of the photographed site: 40°26'53.2''N 9°35'03.2''E
