The Nuraghe compound consists of a central tower which stands more than 10 m above the centuries-old downy oak forest surrounding it.
A second structure was added to the main one, which wrapped round it and consisted of three towers and a courtyard, joined by a continuous wall. Despite being the focus of scientific explorations from the start of the 1900s, extensive ruins are still visible, especially on the outside of the buildings. It owes its name to a holy well from the Punic era, found inside and which in turn held numerous lanterns (in local dialect “lugherras”).
From Paulilatino, take the country road SP65 for about 3.5 km then turn left to stay on the SP65, and continue for a further 700 m. The Nuraghe sits in a field in the middle of thick vegetation.
