Nuraghe Majori

Tempio, Sardinia, Italy

The Nuraghe Majori is located in the territory of Tempio Pausania, in northeastern Sardinia.
It is a unique witness of the Nuragic civilization.
A 3500-year-old fortress is situated on a granite dome at an altitude of 500 meters, with the strategic position of the building and the visual control of the territory.
It emerges on a sloping plain, in the midst of a lush wood of cork oaks, ash trees, holm oaks, downy oaks and Mediterranean plant species.
The Nuraghe Majori has got a sub-circular shape and is made of large and wide stones, laid without grout (dry walls).
The highest part of the nuraghe is about 5 meters.
During the Bronze Age, it was surrounded with a vast village, the traces of which can be inferred in the surrounding area.
During the excavations, nuragic materials have been found, dating back to the Middle Bronze Age (XV-X century B.C.), such as saucepans, pottery and cups.
