Lu Brandali nuragic complex, Bronze Age archaeological site and museum in Santa Teresa Gallura, Italy
Lu Brandali is a nuragic settlement built on a granite promontory in northeastern Sardinia. The site contains a central tower structure, numerous circular dwellings, and a monumental tomb, all accompanied by an attached museum displaying findings from the occupation.
The settlement was built between 1400 and 900 BCE during the Bronze Age. It developed over time as a fortified community that protected its inhabitants through careful stone construction and defensive positioning.
The museum displays everyday objects and pottery that show how the Nuragic people lived and worked. Visitors can observe the tools and household items that reveal their daily routines and domestic habits.
The site is open from April through October without advance booking, but winter visits require prior arrangement. Guided tours are available to help understand the structures and their construction methods.
A monumental tomb on the site held the remains of around 50 different individuals, revealing that burials were a shared community ritual. This discovery offers insight into the social practices of an ancient Sardinian society.
