The temple of Antas was built around the I millennium BC in on the mountain Omu Conca, near a limestone which was believed to have a sacred function. Built by the Carthaginians and subsequently restored by the Romans in the second century BC dedicated to the divinity Sid Addir Babai, object of adoration by the Sardinian peoples.
The temple is still well preserved and inserted in a valley particularly rich in vegetation and water. The presence of deposits of lead and iron had attracted Nuragic people and, subsequently, the Carthaginian and Romans.
The succession of diverse populations has characterized the architectural development that represents different stratified eras.
Near the sacred building threre are still visible remains of a nuragic village with its characteristic C-shape huts. The environments of the village, as in many Nuraghic settlements, were surrounded by walls with access gates for men and wagons.
In the village were found several Nuraghic pieces such as equipment and jewelry that testify the cult to Sardus Pater Babai.
