What is Su Nuraxi of Barumini?

Su Nuraxi of Barumini is a significant archaeological site in Sardinia and the best-preserved example of a nuraghe, a megalithic tower. It dates back to the Bronze Age, between the 16th and 13th centuries BC, and features a central structure with a main tower surrounded by four smaller towers, connected by a bastion. A village developed around the complex with 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.
