Attraction Features
Nuraghen sind antike sardische Megalithbauten, die hauptsächlich während der Nuraghenkultur im Zeitraum von etwa 1900 bis 730 v. Chr. errichtet wurden. Ihre genaue Funktion ist noch Gegenstand der Forschung, aber sie werden oft als Verteidigungsanlagen, Wohnstätten oder Kultstätten interpretiert. Der Nuraghe Toscono ist ein Beispiel für ein solches prähistorisches Bauwerk auf Sardinien.
