The Sant'Antine Nuraghe - Torralba

The Sant'Antine Nuraghe (1500 a.C.) is situated in the centre of the basaltic basin of Campu
Giavesu, in an area of great archaeological interest. It is one of the most impressive and striking examples of Nuragic architecture and represents the most advanced phase in the evolution of the construction techniques of these structures.

It is a polylobed nuraghe, with a central keep and three towers incorporated in the ramparts, which were constructed at a later date. Inside there are a number of corridors and walkways along the walls, which connect the towers and lead to the upper floors.

The keep has four niches on the ground floor with access to the upper floors from two external staircases, and there is also a well, about 20 m deep.
Originally the keep was about 22 m high, while today it stands at 17 m. Outside the Nuraghe visitors can admire the remains of villages from various historic periods, from Nuragic to Carthaginian and Roman.
