The temple of Antas and the dunes of Piscinas
Il Antas temple is a Punic-Roman temple dedicated to the adoration of the eponymous god of the Sardinians Sardus Pater Babai (Sid Addir for the Carthaginians). Carthaginians and Romans settled in the area for the lead and iron deposits in the area. The first chapel of the Carthaginian temple was built in 500 BC on an outcrop of limestone considered sacred and in 300 BC the temple was renovated. The Roman temple was instead built at the behest of the emperor Augustus and restored by Caracalla. Its discovery took place in 1836 by general Alberto La Marmora and is made up of six columns, four at the front and two at the sides, about eight meters high and with Ionic capitals.
The coastal dune system of Dunes of Piscinas is an area of sandy dunes located in western Sardinia. Reaching 100 meters high and shaped by the winds that blow from the sea, they are among the highest in Europe and have already been the setting for three video clips. In 2008 the video of "Hero (story of Luigi delle Bicocche)" by Caparezza was shot, in 2017 "I want to dance with you" by Baby K, while the following year it was the turn of the Negrita who chose the dunes of Piscinas for the video of the song “Adìos paranoia”.
