Location
Nuraghe Mannu is a fascinating prehistoric site in Sardinia, located on a 200-meter high limestone plateau above the Gulf of Orosei near Dorgali. The complex largely dates back to the Bronze Age (1600-900 BC) and offers a deep insight into the Nuragic culture.
Visitors can explore the remains of a simple nuraghe, surrounded by an extensive Nuragic settlement and Roman traces. This historical significance makes it a must-visit for archaeology and history enthusiasts. Its strategic location not only offered protection to the inhabitants of the time but also breathtaking panoramic views over the coast and inland.
The site also features a Nuragic weir and watchtower, dating back approximately 3,500 years. The corridor-type nuraghe is an early example of Sardinia's megalithic architecture and testifies to the advanced building skills of the ancient Sardinians. From here, the connection between Sardinia's culture and nature can be ideally experienced.
