Nuraghe surrounded by 2 large fortifications consisting of a three-lobed bastion in black basalt

Losa is one of the best preserved nuraghes of Sardinia. It is constituted by a three-lobed bastion in black basalt and surrounded by two big fortifications. Its aspect remains imposing in spite of the collapse of the top of the tower. Its walls circumscribe an area of about 300 m in length and 100 to 200 m in width. The central tower dates from the 11th century BC and the outer walls from the 6th century BC, i.e. from the period of Carthaginian domination. You can also see the remains of villages dating from the Punic and Roman periods. A must see!

Nuraghe Losa
C'est un des 7000 nuraghes les mieux conservés de l'île. Il s'agit d'un nuraghe dit "complexe" puisqu'il possède plusieurs tours autour de la principale. La roche qui le constitue est une roche volcanique (basalte noir) extrêmement lourde. C'est une réelle prouesse architecturale que le peuple nuragique a réalisé.
