The Nuraghe of Barumini su Nuraxi

The Nuraghe of Barumini is one of the most beautiful nuraghes (Nuraghic fortress) of Sardinia, the false tholos they are visible vaults, the well and the Nuraghic village around the nuraghe. The angular towers built for sustaining the great bastion, were justified by the danger of the invasions of other people of the Mediterranean. Surrounded by the main sector, we find a magnificent courtyard to form of semicircle with a well deep 20 meters. To the courtyard it was entered by the boundaries externals and also in the central tower. The Nuraghe was used from the inhabitants of the village both in period of peace that during the sieges.

In Sardinia they are around 7000 nuraghes (Nuraghic Fortress) there, even if it would be more opportune to speak of Nuraghic rests because, unfortunately, many nuraghes have gone destroyed and only some are still under good conditions. Among the nuraghes that are today still under good conditions we quote some of the most important nuraghes of Sardinia that, according to us, it is worth: the nuraghe of Barumini, the nuraghe Arrubio (red) next to Orroli, the nuraghe of Torralba S.Antine and the nuraghe near Losa to Abbasanta.

The Nuraghe of Barumini is also known as "Su Nuraxi" or the nuraghe for antonomasia. The archaeological site of the Nuraghe of Barumini is easy to be found, for the relative information on as to reach the nuraghe you read this page.

You cannot choose the country where to born, You cannot choose the color of your skin, You cannot choose the relatives, but You can choose the friends. Living means to choose, to decide what to do, every day.
