Su Nuraxi of Barumini Half-Day Trip

Join us on this half-day trip to Su Nuraxi di Barumini, a journey back to the Bronze Age to discover one of the most important archaeological sites in Sardinia!

What is Su Nuraxi of Barumini?

Su Nuraxi of Barumini is among the significant archaeological sites in Sardinia and is the best-preserved example of a nuraghe, a megalithic tower found on the island. 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, 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.
