On top of the hill of Is Pirixeddus stands the acropolis, an imposing structure that dominates the ancient city and the lagoon in front of it. The temple, built during the late Republican period, is a significant testimony to the importance of this centre in Roman times. Its monumentality not only reflects the cultural and religious aspirations of the time, but also highlights the central role the city played in the political and social landscape of the time.
The visible remains include structures that testify to the different phases of occupation and use of the site, contributing to the understanding of local history.
These characteristics make the acropolis of Is Pirixeddus a place of considerable historical and archaeological interest, representing an important cultural heritage.
