Santu Antine, Bronze Age archaeological complex in Torralba, Italy.
The Santu Antine site contains a central tower with three overlapping chambers, measuring 15.5 meters in diameter and originally 21 meters in height.
Built during the Nuragic civilization, this defensive structure features precise stone masonry techniques with large polygonal blocks in its base layers and smaller squared stones above.
The central chamber includes nine openings within its walls, which served as storage spaces for objects and oil lamps used by the ancient inhabitants.
The archaeological site opens daily from 9:00 to 20:00 between April and September, and from 9:00 to 17:00 between October and March.
The structure contains an unusual ring-shaped corridor within its thick walls, connecting to the main chamber through three separate entrances in a cross-shaped pattern.
