Nurgaric ruins, Sardinia [View all]

As we drove around Sardinia we familiarized ourselves with the type of ruin that was endemic to the civilization here. Roughly from 1900-720 BC. There are about 7,000 of these structures identified from an estimate of 10,000. From 1 -4 rooms, some with stairs/ramps to get to an overlook. Massive stone and arches are early corbled. These are from 3 different Nurgare.
