Well Preserved Nuraghic UNESCO Site

Surrounding Settlement	Nuraghic Tower	Outer Defensive Wall	Internal View

Located just outside the town of Barumini the nuraghic complex of Su Nuraxi was in 1997 inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The bronze age central tower dominates the surrounding area but in fact was higher one floor having collapsed. Su Nuraxi was constructed 3-3500 years ago and subsequently developed with additional wall defences around the original tower. There are the remains of an extensive settlement around this area including one which was apparently a meeting hall, with evident stone benches around its walls. In Barumini itself you will find the Chiesa di Santa Tecia.
