6- The nuraghe Santu Antine, in Torralba, is one of the 31 monuments proposed to Unesco as flag bearers of the grandiose nuragic civilization, its history, and its vast material testimonies.
The nuraghe, also called Sa domo de su Re (in Italian “The house of the King”), is one of the most majestic nuraghi in all of Sardinia and is also one of the most important among those that exist. The entire complex represents an important example of Mediterranean protohistoric architecture and it is believed that the original height reached between 22 and 24 meters; the highest for that period after the Egyptian pyramids and the keep of the nuragic royal palace of Arrubiu which measured between 25 and 30 meters.
The photos of the nuraghe Santu Antine di Torralba are by: Lucia Corda, Bibi Pinna, Francesca Cossu, Maurizio Cossu, and Giovanni Mulas.
