Su Nuraxi di Barumini, Bronze Age archaeological site in Barumini, Italy.
The central tower of Su Nuraxi rises among four corner towers connected by thick stone walls, forming a defensive structure of considerable size.
Archaeologist Giovanni Lilliu uncovered the site during the 1950s, revealing a Nuragic settlement that existed between 1500 and 500 BC.
The remains of over 200 circular stone dwellings surround the central fortress, demonstrating the social organization of the Nuragic civilization.
The archaeological site opens daily with guided tours available in multiple languages, and the nearby Casa Zapata Museum displays artifacts from excavations.
The builders used basalt blocks from the Giara plateau without mortar to construct the multi-story towers that have endured for over 3000 years.
