In the preceding epochs we had an architecture characterized from Menhir and from necropolis hypogeums, as in the example represented above. Subsequently, after the varied preceding cultures the Nuraghic period begins Nuraghic civilization, with the end of the age of the Ancient Bronze, around 1.600 B.C.. The architecture developed by this civilization elaborates, besides the Nuraghic towers, also numerous megalithic burials, said graves of the giants to form of taurine head (taurine protome), and some testimonies of places of cult.

In the age of the Recent and Final Bronze, instead we see, realized the greatest part of that places of cult denominated temples to well, where tied up ceremonies to the cult of the waters were unwound. Sardinia is interested, besides, from the Mycenaean navigation, that brings in the island new people, presumably attracted by his important mining resources. also thanks to the due push to importations of metallic objects from the island in Cyprus.

Characteristics of the first age of the Iron the production of the manufactured articles in bronze of good level, the realization of weapons and objects of ornament, the production of small bronze (small statues in bronze), of the votive small boat and of other objects in miniature. In the following phase to the production of small bronze it is placed side by side, besides, the realization of great statues in stone.

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.
