nuraghe Mandras de la Giua
The impressive Punic Nuraghe Mandras de la Giua (Sa Mandra 'e Sa Giua) is a prominent testament to prehistoric Sardinian Nuragic culture, surrounded by an ancient village.
The Nuraghe Sa Mandra 'e Sa Giua, also known as Nuraghe Mandras de la Giua, is a fascinating archaeological complex near Ossi. This bilobate Nuragic structure, whose main tower was once flanked by two smaller towers, offers a deep insight into the complex construction methods of the Nuragic era.
The site includes not only the nuraghe itself but also the remains of an adjacent village, where a hut with a characteristic circular seat was found. This suggests communal or ceremonial use and tells stories of the daily lives of Sardinia's prehistoric inhabitants.
Furthermore, south of the municipality of Sindia, another single-tower nuraghe named Sa Mandra 'e Sa Giua rises. This unexcavated tower is 13.5 meters in diameter and stands 6.5 meters tall. Visitors can experience the impressive presence and craftsmanship of the Nuragic builders firsthand, delving into the mysteries of this ancient civilization.
