Nuraghe Arrubiu, Bronze Age archaeological complex in Orroli, Italy
The Nuraghe Arrubiu spreads across 3000 square meters and contains a central fortified tower surrounded by five additional towers and defensive walls.
The structure, built during the fifteenth century BC, remained active until the second century BC when Romans transformed it into a wine production facility.
The discovery of Peloponnesian pottery within the complex demonstrates the existence of trade connections between the Nuragic civilization and Mycenaean societies.
The archaeological site opens daily from 9:30 until sunset and provides wheelchair access throughout the main exhibition areas and pathways.
The structure contains an intricate water drainage system that directed water to a central cistern, demonstrating advanced engineering methods of the period.
