Cabu Abbas, Nuragic complex of Cabu Abbas, archaeological site in Olbia, Italy.
The Cabu Abbas nuragic complex stands atop a rocky hill at approximately 250 meters above sea level, featuring a defensive wall measuring 220 meters in length with an average thickness of four meters.
Built during the Middle Bronze Age between the 17th and 14th centuries BC, this site represents one of the most important strategic settlements of the Nuragic civilization in northeastern Sardinia.
Excavations conducted by Doro Levi in the late 1930s uncovered a bronze figurine depicting a woman holding a pitcher, providing valuable insights into the daily life and cultural practices of ancient Sardinian communities.
The archaeological site remains open to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours and informational displays that help visitors understand the significance of Nuragic architecture and prehistoric Sardinian heritage.
The central chamber of the nuraghe contains a truncated cone-shaped well nearly three meters deep where archaeologists discovered burnt bones, ashes, and ceramic fragments from ancient ritual sacrifices.
