The Sacred Well of Sant’Anastasia is located in Sardara, a town in southern Sardinia. It is a Nuragic monument located within the town and takes its name from the church opposite the same name. This evocative sacred well built with rough basaltic and limestone blocks, intended for the worship of water, dates back to the final Bronze Age and is known by the Sardinia name "Sa funtana de is dolus" which literally means "The source of pain". In fact, from here flows a spring fed by underground aquifers and in ancient times it was thought that this water had saving and healing powers. It has a circular room, dug into the ground, covered by a tholos dome which is accessed via a twelve-step staircase. The well can be visited thanks to the introduction of a mechanism that sucks the water.
