Nuraghe Diana
The Nuraghe Diana in Quartu Sant'Elena is an imposing archaeological site with a unique tower structure and panoramic views of the Gulf of Cagliari.
Location
The Nuraghe Diana, perched on a granite hilltop north of Is Mortorius, is a significant testament to the Nuragic civilization in Sardinia, not far from Cagliari. Its origins date back over 3000 years, narrating the stories of the cultures that once inhabited this strategically important site.
Characteristic of this nuraghe is its unique construction: a central main tower surrounded by two smaller towers, connected by a perimeter bastion. From here, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views over the entire Gulf of Angels, a panorama that must have captivated ancient inhabitants.
