Nuraghe Tanca Manna, Nuragic tower in Nuoro, Italy.
The Nuraghe Tanca Manna stands on a granite promontory overlooking Monte Ortobene, featuring a single tower with a tholos dome and two opposing niches.
Archaeological excavations in 2005 revealed the foundations of more than 150 rectangular huts from the Middle Bronze Age surrounding the central defensive structure.
The structure represents Nuragic civilization engineering, incorporating locally sourced granite blocks and natural rock formations into its architectural design.
Visitors can access the archaeological park through Via Martiri della Libertà in the southern section of Nuoro, where guided tours explain the site features.
The site combines a defensive tower with extensive residential ruins, demonstrating the transition from rectangular to circular dwelling designs in Nuragic settlements.
