Nuraghe Losa, Bronze Age archaeological site in Abbasanta, Italy.
Nuraghe Losa is an archaeological site in the Sardinian town of Abbasanta featuring a triangular central tower built from basalt blocks with smaller towers surrounding it. The towers connect through thick stone walls that contain interior staircases and chambers spread across multiple levels.
The central tower was built during the early Bronze Age and formed the core of a fortress that grew over centuries. Later peoples continued to use and expand the structure through the Late Bronze Age, Nuragic period, and into Roman and Medieval times.
The structure reflects how the Nuragic people organized their living and defensive spaces through clever design. Walking through it, you can see how different chambers and passages connected the three towers into a single functioning complex.
The site is located in central Sardinia and is easily accessible with parking available on site. The grounds are mostly flat and easy to navigate, with clear pathways leading to the main structures and accessible viewing areas.
The interior layout reveals a clever defensive design where nested rooms allowed inhabitants to retreat gradually during attacks. This three-tower pattern was common in Nuragic fortifications, but few sites show the internal arrangements as clearly as this one does.
