In the room on the ground floor, we find<strong> a seating-bench, a fairly rare piece in Nuraghe rooms<\/strong>, but commonly found in the tombs of the giants, huts and at the entrances to temples. On the upper floor, a large window with curved architrave opens up.<br \/>\nThe <strong>stronghold<\/strong> built a short time after the fortified tower <strong>has a quadrangular layout with curtain walls<\/strong> with a concave-convex profile <strong>which includes corner towers<\/strong>. From the courtyard, via an architrave entrance and a short corridor with a niche previously restored in ancient times,<strong> you can access the circular room in the side tower<\/strong>. A crenel opens up in line with the entrance with an external opening that cannot be distinguished because still obliterated by the infill material piled against the stronghold from the outside.<br \/>\nOn the right, <strong>a door with architrave leads to a raised floor<\/strong> 50 cm from ground level where three crenel niches arranged in a fan shape open out. A stairwell begins on the right (marked by a crenel) which led up to the stronghold. So, this tower can also be accessed from the stronghold which had a sheltered walkway for patrol duty.<br \/>\nThis staircase was probably demolished <strong>in the Punic-Roman era <\/strong>when <strong>the tower was used as a chapel (Temple)<\/strong>. Excavation work uncovered numerous thymiaterion (incense burners), used for<strong> holy ceremonies<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThe material found bears witness to<strong> ongoing life in our Nuraghe from the Early<\/strong>\/Final Bronze\/1st Iron Age (XV-IX B.C.) right up to <strong>the Middle Ages.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":26694,"template":"","tipologia":[991],"categoria":[1025],"tematica":[1029],"class_list":["post-29833","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-nuraghe-en","categoria-archaeological-site","tematica-archeology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nuraghe Santa Barbara - Idese<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/idese.cultura.gov.it\/place\/nuraghe-santa-barbara\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nuraghe Santa Barbara - Idese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Nuraghe stands on a small plain halfway up Monte Manai at 648 metres a.s.l., in an ideal location for checking the natural trail running from Macomer up to the Campeda plateau.
