What is Su Nuraxi of Barumini?

Su Nuraxi of Barumini is one of the significant archaeological sites in Sardinia, known for being the best-preserved example of a nuraghe, a megalithic tower. Dating back to the Bronze Age, between the 16th and 13th centuries BC, it features a central structure with a main tower and four smaller towers, all connected by a bastion. A village with dwellings and daily life facilities developed around the complex. Discovered in the 1950s by archaeologist Giovanni Lilliu, Su Nuraxi was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
