Is is nice to be surprised. Stayed in a small place called Lunamatrona. Did not know that just 10 km from one of the oldest Nuraghis. What is that?
Let's follow the dictionary definition:
The nuraghe (IPA [nu'rage]) (plural Italian nuraghi, Sardinian nuraghes) is the main type of megalithic edifice found in Sardinia, dating back before 1000 BC. Today it has come to be the symbol of Sardinia and its distinctive culture. The typical nuraghe is situated in a panoramic spot and has the shape of a truncated conical tower resembling a beehive. The structure has no foundations and stands only by virtue of the weight of its stones, which may weigh as much as several tons. Some nuraghes are more than 20 metres in height.
And - before work ... I had to see one of them....
