Giara of Gesturi is a 35 square kilometer basaltic plateau.
It is like a bastion, an inexpugnable fortress which is surrounded by plains and rolling hills.
The Giara is isolated. It is almost an island within an Island. Its natural environment is unique and includes an interesting fauna and flora. Marshes, rocks, holm-oak and cork woods, Mediterranean plants and the wild ponies that make their home on the Giara.
Located along the plateau limits there are the ruins of 23 nuraghi which were built by the inhabitants of Sardinia in the 2nd millennium BC.
