Short description
Nuraghe Arrubiu was built around
1500 b.C. and collapsed around
500 years later. It was inhabited
until 100 b.C. when the Romans
came to Sardinia and transformed
the Nuraghe in a wine-producing
workshop.
Nuraghe Arrubiu is also the
largest nuragic complex in
Sardinia.
It’s nick-named as “Red Giant”,
because of its red shades on the
walls, caused by lichens.
The original purpose was
probably to guard the near area
or to store different things.

The structure
Nuraghe Arrubiu is extended for
5000 m^2. In the centre there’s
the main tower, called “mastio”,
with an height of 15 meters. But in
the past it was tall 30 meters!
Inside the mastio you can find the
central camera where rituals were
done. The mastio is surrounded
by 5 towers, which are also
surrounded by 7 other towers and
a difensive wall. In the interior,
between towers, we can find
various gardens. At south-est 5
towers are built separately from
the others. The grand-total of
towers is 21.
