Nuraghe Diana, Archaeological site in Quartu Sant'Elena, Italy

The Nuraghe Diana features a central stone tower with tholos dome construction and two connected smaller towers within an enclosed courtyard space.

Built during the middle of the second millennium BC between Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, this structure protected a Nuragic port at the Gulf of Cagliari.

The structure demonstrates advanced engineering methods of the Nuragic civilization through its dry-stone masonry and architectural techniques used in tower construction.

The site provides access to explore ancient stone structures while offering views of the surrounding territory and the coastline of Quartu Sant'Elena.

Unlike other nuraghi constructed in phases, this complex was built as a single unified project with stones in upper sections larger than those beneath.
