Nuraghe Santu Antine
One of Sardinia's largest nuraghe stone towers, with a well-preserved three-storey corbelled dome and a circular gallery, known as the “House of the King.”
Nuraghe Santu Antine lies in the “Nuraghe Valley” near Torralba. The main tower was built around the 16th century BC and stands about 17 metres tall. It originally had three storeys, and you can climb through its interior along stone stairs and narrow galleries. The corbelled dome is remarkable. Three smaller towers around it are linked by walls. The visitor centre and the small Torralba museum offer guided explanations. It is about 50 km from Alghero, roughly 50 minutes by car, and can be paired with a visit to Palmavera for comparison.
