In the temple of Antas was adored the divinity Sardus Pater Babai

Don't miss the temple of Antas, in the homonym valley at only 10 minutes from Fluminimaggiore: it is surely one of the most interesting place of Sardinia. Under the empire of Caracalla, at the beginning of the III century B.C., the Romans built it up in the shelter of a Punic temple dated from 500 B.C., in order to adore the God Sardus Pater Babai. The local nuraghic populations had adored the God Sid Addir and, under the dominion of the Punics arrived from Cartagine, they began to adore the divinity Sid Addir Babai.

However, even the nuraghic peoples had chosen that zone for their sacred rituals, as it is proved by some findings. Still visible are the remains of a mosaic pavement and eight columns with Doric capitals, beyond the two bathtubs for the ablutions. The temple of Antas was uncovered in 1836 by the general Alberto La Marmora.
