Sardinia and the South

Sardinia by Sylvia Jansen
The lost city of Atlantis. According to Fabio Angius, the marketing and commercial manager of Pala Winery, as well as a knowledgeable guide, this is the unofficial mystery behind the beehive-shaped stone Nuraghe slab structures that tower over the Sardinian plain like so many question marks.
This UNESCO World Heritage site, about an hour from the Sardinian capital city of Cagliari, contains the ruins of stone buildings that once stood 20 metres tall, with 3-metre walls to support them. They have long dotted Sardinia’ s northern regions, and southern examples have recently been uncovered from beneath thousands of years of dirt and vegetation. As Fabio explained, there is evidence that a major tsunami rocked the Mediterranean almost 3,000 years ago, washing over the structures in the southern part of the island, and either killing the inhabitants or forcing them to flee. Some suspect that this story grew into the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis, buried under the sea.
For a few short days, Fabio introduced the island of Sardinia and the people and products of Pala. It was enough to convince me that to truly get to know Sardinia would require several return visits! www. banvilleandjones. com 27
