Location
Nuraghe Candelargiu, located near San Giovanni Suergiu in southwestern Sardinia, is a testament to the complex architecture of the Nuragic civilization. Its main structure consists of a central tower flanked by two other towers, creating a characteristic trilobate shape, easily recognizable especially from an aerial perspective.
Built from large blocks of andesite, Nuraghe Candelargiu demonstrates the prehistoric inhabitants' skill in erecting monumental structures.
