“The remains of the fortress of Su Casteddu emerge from the hill of Punta Fanaris and are also visible from the SP 3 that leads from Decimoputzu to Vallermosa.
The site assumes strategic importance both for its geographical location at the passage between the Campidano valley and the Cixerri valley, and for the impressiveness and extent of its structures.
It is a complex polylobate nuraghe, probably built between the end of the Middle Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age, which rises imposing on the Campidanese plain.
The complexity of the fortress, likely due to the succession of different construction phases, the number of towers, and the antemural spaces that surround the central keep are still unknown to this day.”
