The Torru nuraghe of Ittiri, towering on the summit of the mountain of the same name, is certainly not the best known and most representative of an area rich in prehistoric remains. Among them are numerous domus de janas dating back to the Neolithic period, but above all, several dozen nuraghi that were probably frequented at the time by the Coracenses tribes, mentioned by the geographer Ptolemy, and of which traces remain in the toponym Coros and in the medieval curatorship of the same name. However, this nuraghe has a special charm, due to its dominant and solitary position and a surrounding environment whose vastness is permeated by a veil of melancholy.
