Sa Linnarta

The well sanctuary ( Italian Pozzo sacro ) of Sa Linnarta (also called Osana) lies together with the remains of a large nuraghe and two cisterns north of Orosei in the province of Nuoro in Sardinia , where a number of other well sanctuaries are located.

Near the nuraghe there are two cisterns measuring about 10.0 × 6.0 m and 3.9 × 2.0 m. The place was also settled in Roman times. Remnants of three rectangular rooms from this period have been discovered. Just below you can see the holy well.
