The monument sits on a narrow plain dominating the wide valley where the town of Goni lies.<\/p>\n
It is a single-tower Nuraghe with a residual height of around nine metres, complete with a tholos room that is still intact and standing 8 metres high.\u00a0<\/strong>Limestone and sandstone were used to build the tower. Mid to large size blocks were used in the lower part of the Nuraghe. Starting from three metres in height, neat rows of long, narrow slabs were used. The monument was built in at least two stages<\/strong>. Indeed, the first staircase was walled-in, and you can still count the first steps at the bottom of the watchtower. The second flight of stairs, built at a later stage, can be accessed via an entrance at around 3.35 metres in height. Clearly, it was possible to access the raised stairwell via a staircase which had been built using a perishable material and is no longer in existence. Right at the start of the town of Goni, coming from San Basilio, take the paved road on the left, which leads to the dam on Lake Mulargia; follow this for about 1 km as far as the first fork. At this point, turn left and continue for about one hundred metres. After leaving the road, which carries on, follow the steep hillside on foot. The Nuraghe is visible in the distance and takes fifteen minutes to reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":27318,"template":"","tipologia":[991],"categoria":[1025],"tematica":[1029],"class_list":["post-29840","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-nuraghe-en","categoria-archaeological-site","tematica-archeology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nThe Nuraghe sits above a kind of platform or terracing, most likely built to level off the small plateau’s uneven surface. <\/p>\n
