Casteddu de Fanaris, Nuragic archaeological complex in Decimoputzu, Sardinia, Italy.
The stone fortress of Casteddu de Fanaris consists of a central tower surrounded by eight additional towers forming a defensive bastion at 147 meters elevation.
Built between 1300 and 1000 BC during the Bronze Age, this nuraghe controlled the access road connecting the Iglesiente region to the Campidano plain.
The archaeological site reveals the engineering capabilities of the Nuragic civilization through its granite boulder construction and strategic defensive architecture.
The fortress remains are accessible through guided tours organized by the Decimoputzu municipality, with information panels explaining the architectural features.
The complex incorporates a megalithic wall system with five towers equipped with loopholes, demonstrating advanced military engineering of prehistoric Sardinia.
