What is Su Nuraxi of Barumini?

Su Nuraxi of Barumini is a significant archaeological site in Sardinia, best preserved and most impressive example of a nuraghe, a type of megalithic tower found on the island. Dating back to the Bronze Age, between the 16th and 13th centuries BC, the site features a central structure with a main tower surrounded by four smaller towers, all connected by a bastion. A village developed around the complex, including dwellings and facilities for daily life. Discovered in the 1950s by archaeologist Giovanni Lilliu, Su Nuraxi was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 due to its historical and cultural significance.
