Su Nuraxi was unearthed by archaeologist Giovanni Lilliu in the mid-20th century. And although it’s the only nuraghe complex in Sardinia that has been completely excavated, the ruins can be hard to interpret without the insight of a guide. Join a free tour to explore this settlement of interlocking dwellings, defensive walls, and numerous towers, and learn about the enigmatic civilization that built it during the Bronze and Iron ages.
Most travelers who visit Su Nuraxi also stop by the Casa Zapata Museum and Centro Giovanni Lilliu—one ticket gives you access to all three attractions. Or, pair your visit with a trip to the Giara volcanic plateau to spot Sardinia’s wild horses.
