You can reach the Nuraghe Funtana under the shadow of the pumice quarry’s picturesque landscape created by the blending layers of red and black which form a very unusual anthropic landscape.
This is a complex settlement built with uneven blocks of roughly cut trachyte. The central tower, which is even taller today, had two side towers added to it over time.
On entering, you will notice numerous fragments of cork on your right. These were used in Nuragic times, when the Nuraghe was built, to adjust the work surface of the stones. They are still to this day, incredibly well preserved.
Take the paved road from the centre of Ittireddu and head south-east towards Fontana ‘e Josso. Continue as far as the first fork, in correspondence with a purifier, and turn left onto a dirt track. You will come to some dilapidated houses where you can leave your car. Continue on foot for about 400 m along a white road, passing a closed gate, until you can see the nuraghe on your right, a few metres from the road. Go through the gate on your right and you are there.
