Nuraghe Genna Maria, Bronze Age archaeological complex in Villanovaforru, Italy.
The Nuraghe Genna Maria features a central tower surrounded by a three-cornered bastion and protective walls on a hilltop position in southwestern Sardinia.
Built during the Bronze Age between 1800-1600 BCE, this defensive structure served as a control point for the surrounding territory of the Nuragic civilization.
The archaeological site reveals the engineering capabilities of ancient Sardinian societies through its megalithic construction techniques and architectural design.
The archaeological park and museum remain open six days per week, offering audio guides for smartphones and guided tours of the prehistoric complex.
The structure combines a central tower with an external wall system that protected an Iron Age settlement, demonstrating multiple phases of architectural development.
