About
One-of-a-kind prehistoric ruins can be found at this archeological site, whose original purpose is still unknown.
Su Nuraxi di Barumini, a stone tower complex in Sardinia, gives us our best glimpse of the possible meaning behind these mysterious structures that originated during the Bronze Age around the 17th century BCE. The site consists of a central stone tower that is the oldest portion of the ruins and the largest. The tower holds three stacked chambers and seems to have been surrounded by a system of walls that were built later as well as a quartet of towers that did not survive to the present day. The tower is believed to have most likely been a fortress of some kind given the walls and tall construction, although there is also evidence that it protected some sort of religious purpose, or possibly even acted as some sort of redoubt.
