The Barru Nuraghe sits at the top of a limestone plateau overlooking the plain below, divided between the municipalities of Guasila and Guamaggiore.
The monument was built using square blocks of marl-limestone arranged into rows. The Nuraghe layout is complex. The fortified tower is elliptical and connected to it via curtain walls are two circular side towers. The presence of different silos for storing foodstuffs, and numerous stairwells, make the building’s layout even more articulated. There is also a small room in the courtyard with a cistern well where animal and human remains were uncovered, as well as ceramic fragments and containers in excellent condition. During the archaeological digs, some bronze razors and a votive sword were uncovered.
On the Eastern slope of the hill, we can find the remains of an extensive village.
In order to reach the site, start from Guamaggiore (taking via De Nicola as your point of reference – you’ll find a road sign). Further on is an incomplete building. Go in and climb up, keeping next to the fence.
