Nuraghe Serbissi

Nuraghe Serbissi is a Bronze Age settlement located on a limestone plateau near Osini, featuring a central tower surrounded by three smaller defensive structures. The site contains eight circular stone dwellings, two large stone tombs, and a cave system integrated into the complex.

Built between the 18th and 10th centuries BC, this stone structure served as a fortified settlement during the Nuragic civilization of ancient Sardinia. It was constructed during a period when the island's inhabitants developed defensive communities.

The complex includes eight circular stone dwellings, two giant tombs, and a cave system that demonstrates the architectural capabilities of Bronze Age Sardinians.

The site can be reached by following a marked route from Osini heading toward the Taccu area on a paved road. Sturdy footwear is recommended as the terrain is rocky and uneven in places.

A natural cave with two openings was skillfully incorporated into the fortification and served as part of its defensive system. This demonstrates how the site's ancient inhabitants turned geological features to practical use.
