Features
The so-called “well” temples are buildings for the drinkable waters’ cult. They all follow the same scheme, articulate in three environments:
1. a vestibule
2. a stair covered by a floor following the steps line
3. a tholos room used as a well or sometimes covering an underground well.
The well is the material and ideal centre of the architectonical structure, containing the water believed the gods’ residence.

Location
In Sardinia there are about 30 “well” temples, all inside (Santa Cristina-Paulilatino) or close (Losa-Abbasanta) to the Nuraghic villages, some still visible in their remains, others unfortunately destroyed (Sant’Anastasia-Sardara), some part of a sanctuary (Santa Vittoria -Serri), some others apparently isolated (Su Tempiesu-Orune).
• Abini-Teti (NU)
• Santa Vittoria –Serri (NU)
• S. Anastasia-Sardara (CA)
• S. Millanu- Nuragus (NU)
• S. Paulilatino (OR)
• Perfugas (SS)
• Camposanto-Olmedo (SS)
• Su Tempiesu – Orune (NU)

To be noted the holy well in Su Tempiesu –Orune (NU) because it’s the only one with a still well kept façade.
