Attraction Features
Nuraghen sind antike Megalithbauten, die nur auf Sardinien gefunden werden und zwischen der Bronze- und Eisenzeit (ca. 1900–730 v. Chr.) erbaut wurden. Sie sind die markantesten Bauwerke der Nuraghenkultur und variieren stark in Größe und Komplexität, von einfachen Türmen bis hin zu komplexen Festungsanlagen. Ihre genaue Funktion ist noch Gegenstand archäologischer Debatten, man geht jedoch davon aus, dass sie sowohl Wohn-, Kult- als auch Verteidigungszwecken dienten.
