<< Within the boundaries of Pozzomaggiore, there are seven nuraghi, mostly in ruins, and they are named nuraghe “Cae”, n. “Menteboe”, n. “Ruju”, n. “Cannas”, n. “Giorgi”, n. “Pittos”, n. “Alvu”, n. “Frattu”. The first is the most significant and had around it another construction and a nearby perennial spring.
A short distance from the nuraghi, there are those works known as giant’s tombs, remarkable for their length. Some believe that human bones much larger than common sizes have been found there. >>

In the photos: nuraghe Alvu (photo by Giovanni Sotgiu); nuraghe Cae (Alessandro Pilia); nuraghe Giorzi (Sergio Melis); nuraghe Ruggiu (Giovanni Sotgiu).
