After a fantastic tour of the nuraghi Su Nuraxi in Barùmini, I continued driving north, just past Oristano, to Nuraghe Losa in Abbasanta. (See photo to the left.)The construction of this nuraghe transpired in the period between the 18th-15th centuries BC. A little over half of the 20-meter central tower is standing, along with its surrounding wall.
After a brief visit, I ventured further north to Torralba on my way to Alghero to see Nuraghe Santu Antine, which is typical of many Nuraghic towers, only better preserved. The construction of this Nuraghic village occurred between the 18th-15th centuries BC.
This 17-meter high tower is surrounded by a wall, which is adjoined to interlinking dwellings that encircle the wall. Within the wall, there is an impressive courtyard with a well and entrances that lead to assorted corridors and staircases.
