Tempio Pausania (Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna)
Nuraghe Majori
Among the woods of Gallura, amid cork oaks and holm oaks, the Nuraghe Majori stands out for the monumental size of the granite blocks used to build it.
THE BLOCKS OF NURAGHE MAJORI
The Nuraghe Majori stands between the Aggius mountains and the Limbara, in the municipality of Tempio Pausania, among cork oaks, holm oaks and granite outcrops.
Built in the 14th century BC in an area rich in nuraghi and fortifications, its position allows wide visual control over the valleys below.
The life of the monument seems to have ended in the 9th century BC.
Today the tower with its corridor, the side chambers, the courtyard and the staircase to the upper floor can be seen.
