The Nuragic civilization, which flourished in Sardinia between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age (ca. 1800–800 B.C.), left an archaeological legacy of extraordinary importance, evidenced by iconic monuments such as nuraghi, tombs of giants and sacred wells. This study analyses and enhances the village of Serra Orrios, a paradigmatic example of Nuragic architecture and social organization, through an integrated methodological approach combining advanced photogrammetric survey techniques, 3D modelling and augmented reality. The project produced detailed site documentation, including an updated planimetric map, and developed an AR application to improve public enjoyment and understanding of the heritage. The multidisciplinary approach highlighted the potential of these technologies for conservation, communication, and education and outlined research perspectives, including cultural comparison, sustainability, and methodological replicability. The case of Serra Orrios thus emerges as an experimental model for archaeological heritage management and enhancement.
