Nuraghes are a specialty of Sardinia. These are circular tower-like structures made of basalt or granite boulders without a binder, which stand alone or in complexes and may have served as watchtowers. The age of the nuragas is estimated at 3,500 years, and approximately 7,000 have been preserved in Sardinia. These buildings are a rarity in Sardinia that you will not find anywhere else.
The Nuraghes have great archaeological significance, which has not been fully elucidated to this day. The peculiarity of these buildings is that they are built without any binder. They always have a circular base and were built in the shape of a lump, where the stones were the largest in the lower part and gradually decreased in the upward direction. However, even the smallest stone weighed more than 100 kg. A great peculiarity is the settlement of the last stone that formed the roof, as the nuraghes were built to a height of more than ten meters.
