Su Nuraxi di Barumini
Su Nuraxi
A World Heritage Site and the most spectacular nuraghe complex in Sardinia. It is a Bronze Age fortress and village more than 3,000 years old.
Su Nuraxi began construction around the 17th to 13th centuries BCE. A central main tower is surrounded by four towers and walls, and beyond them lies a dense village of stone houses. It was added to the World Heritage List in 1997. It can only be visited with a guided tour, which departs about every half hour. You need to squeeze through narrow stone passages and into rooms inside the towers. Tickets cost a little over ten euros and include the nearby exhibition center. It is about 60 km from Cagliari, roughly 1 hour by car.
