Area Archaeological Sa Mandra 'e Sa Giua

A Nuragic complex featuring a two-foil nuraghe with a main tholos tower backed by two secondary towers connected via an internal courtyard. The adjacent village contains circular huts from the oldest occupation phase and rectangular structures from continued habitation through the Roman era. Excavations in 1981-1983 uncovered the secondary towers, along with ceramic material suggesting connections to major northern Sardinian trade routes.
