Losa Nuraghe

The Losa Nuraghe is one of the best preserved in Sardinia and still retains its structure intact. Consisting of a tower and strong walls arranged to form an equilateral triangle, from certain perspectives it looks like the prow of a ship.

Situated in the centre-west of Sardinia, near the municipality of Abbasanta, it was inhabited since 1500 BC. The name comes from 'Nurache 'e Losas' (nuraghe of the tombs) because funerary urns from the Roman era were found there. Admission costs €6 and you can enjoy walks in the surrounding greenery on the way there. Attentive visitors may even discover a few surprises. Indeed, the forest has engulfed some ruins, testifying to how long ago the area was inhabited.
