Il villaggio nuragico di Tiscali, situato all'interno di una vasta dolina sul monte Tiscali nel Comune di Dorgali in provincia di Nuoro è un sorprendente insediamento dell'età del bronzo. Uno dei patrimoni storici della nostra bella Sardegna. Situato nella regione del Supramonte tra Dorgali e Oliena, fu costruito dalla civiltà nuragica tra il XV e l'VIII secolo a.C. Il villaggio, nascosto all'interno di una caverna calcarea crollata, è costituito da circa 40 capanne circolari in pietra costruite lungo le pareti della dolina, rendendolo invisibile dall'esterno finché non si entra. La sua posizione remota, raggiungibile solo con una impegnativa escursione di due ore, suggerisce che potrebbe essere stato un rifugio difensivo da invasori come Fenici o Romani, anche se alcuni credono che avesse scopi cerimoniali. Le prove mostrano che fu ripopolato tra il II e il I secolo a.C. e rimase in uso fino al Medioevo.
