Arrubiu Nuraghe

Located in the municipality of Orroli in south-central Sardinia, its name in Sardinian means 'red nuraghe' due to the iron present in its basaltic rocks. It is the largest nuraghe on the island with 21 towers and one of the largest protohistoric sites in the West. Dating back to 1500 B.C., it has remained in fairly good condition. The presence of pottery from the Peloponnesian War testifies to the political importance of this area. Included in the Mediterranean trade but quite far from the sea, it was sheltered from attacks from the water.

If you love trekking, you can enrich your visit to the nuraghe with an excursion to the two nearby lakes, Lake Flumendosa and Lake Mulargia, as well as many other naturalistic treats.
