The great pre-historical necropolis of Montessu, located at about 2 Km north-west of Villaperuccio, on the southern hillsides of Sa Pranedda (261 m), extends for over a kilometre upon a trachytic plateau surrounding a wide natural amphitheatre of extraordinary beauty.

The necropolis was discovered and brought to light since last century’s ‘70s. It undoubtedly stands as one of the most interesting archaeological areas in the Island, either due to its monumentality and to the significance it bears within the frame of studies on rituals and burial typologies of peoples inhabiting Sardinia before the coming of the Nuraghe.

The territory of lower Sulcis, located in south-western Sardinia, is distinguished for the richness of its  archaeological,  historical/artistic, natural and cultural/food-and-wine resources, which concur to make it a characteristic, special corner of Sardinia, deserving to be valorised in view of the public/social enjoyment of an inheritance to be managed by the community. This is a territory where the morphological landscape is enhanced by monumental evidence, perfectly inserted within the various sites by a sort of mimesis, making them an essential part of the landscape that hosts them.
