Attraction Features

Nuraghen sind antike sardische Megalithbauten, die während der Nuraghenkultur (ca. 1900-730 v. Chr.) errichtet wurden. Ihre genaue Funktion ist noch Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Debatten; sie dienten wahrscheinlich als Festungen, Wohnstätten oder Kultstätten. Angesichts des Namensbestandteils 'Niedda', der auf Sardisch 'schwarz' bedeutet, könnte dies auf die Farbe des Gesteins oder eine andere Besonderheit des Bauwerks hinweisen.
