Description
Excarvation at Nuraghe La Prisgiona, Valle di Capichera, Arzachena, province Sassari, Sardinia, Italy.
Nuraghe are ancient megalithic edifices found exclusively on the Italian island of Sardinia. These truncated cone stone structures were built by the Nuragic civilization between 1900 and 730 BC.The Nuragic civilization lived in Sardinia from the Bronze Age up to the Roman colonization.
While there are still 7,000 nuraghes found on the island, it is estimated that there were once more than 10,000 in total.
There is currently no consensus among the experts as to the function of nuraghes, it has been hypothesized that they were either the homes of rulers or military strongholds, or perhaps religious temples or meeting halls. So quite a lot of possibilities..
