The name Tarthesh itself originates from an ancient legend. “Tartessos” was, for the Greeks, a mythical kingdom of the West, possibly located in Sardinia: a place of metals, wealth, and mystery. Some link it to the legendary Atlantis.
From this fascinating connection arises our identity, and with it our archaeological tours between myth, stone, and memory.
