Why go
This northeastern route is for visitors interested in how stone carries very different stories. Begin with La Prisgiona's village and fortress, then continue to the nearby Giants' Tomb of Coddu Vecchiu while the archaeological context is fresh. Roccia dell'Orso shifts attention from built stone to granite shaped by wind. Finish at the Garibaldi Compendium on Caprera if ferry, road and museum timing align. The sites are dispersed, so do not add a beach merely to fill time. Treat Caprera as optional when crossings or opening arrangements make the day too tight.
