Funtana Coberta, a nuragic well temple

Ballao, Sardinia, Italy

The nuragic people built water temples, usually called "nuragic wells" in English; well temples would be more accurate. They were usually tholos structures with a staircase descending to the water and sometimes seats or benches around it. The top is missing from this one.
