Nuraghe Accas
Nuraghe Accas is a well-preserved example of a single-tower nuraghe in Cossoine, a testament to Sardinia's Bronze Age Nuragic culture.
Location
Nuraghe Accas stands on a low plateau within the municipality of Cossoine. It is a classic example of a single-tower nuraghe, the simplest and arguably most original form of these megalithic structures that define the Sardinian landscape. These towers, built between 1900 and 730 BC, are still the subject of intensive research into their exact function – from defensive fortifications to ritualistic centers.
The central tower structure of Nuraghe Accas is still partially buried, offering a good insight into its original construction. It comprises approximately 13 rows of stones, demonstrating the impressive craftsmanship of the Nuragic builders. As a cultural and archaeological highlight, Nuraghe Accas provides a fascinating connection to Sardinia's ancient history, inviting exploration of this enigmatic civilization.
Visitors gain an authentic impression of the stone testimonies of a highly developed culture that flourished in Sardinia for centuries. Nuraghi are not only architectural masterpieces but also profound insights into the social and spiritual world of the Nuragic people.

Nuraghen sind prähistorische und frühhistorische Megalithbauten, die nur auf Sardinien vorkommen. Sie stammen aus der Bronzezeit (ca. 1800 v. Chr.) bis zur Eisenzeit und sind das markanteste Verteidigungs- und Siedlungsmerkmal der Nuraghenkultur. Es gibt Tausende davon auf der Insel, viele davon noch unerforscht oder in Privatbesitz.
