Nuraghi sind prähistorische Steintürme, die nur auf Sardinien gefunden werden und zwischen der Bronze- und Eisenzeit (etwa 1900-730 v. Chr.) erbaut wurden. Ihre genaue Funktion ist noch Gegenstand der Forschung, es wird jedoch angenommen, dass sie als Verteidigungsstrukturen, Wohnstätten oder Kultstätten dienten. Der Bruncu Campulongu Nuraghe ist ein weiteres Beispiel dieser einzigartigen sardischen Hochkultur und zeugt von der reichen Geschichte der Insel.
