Nuraghe Codula Manna
The Nuraghe Codula Manna in Dorgali is a significant Bronze Age archaeological site, known for its single-tower structure and historical importance.
Location
The Nuraghe Codula Manna, also known as Nuraghe Mannu, stands majestically on a promontory 200 meters above the sea near Dorgali, offering breathtaking views of the coast. This archaeological site bears witness to Sardinia's deeply rooted Nuragic culture and is a fascinating example of the advanced architecture of the Bronze Age (1600 - 900 BC).
The landmark is a simple single-tower nuraghe with a tholos chamber, impressive for its precisely executed corbelled vaulting technique. Inside the chamber, there are two opposing niches, one of which was carved directly into the rock. The strategic location of the nuraghe suggests its former importance as a control point and settlement.
Surrounding the main nuraghe is an extensive Nuragic and Roman settlement. Numerous foundations of huts and other structures bear witness to a long and continuous occupation of this region.
