 This is situated about 10 kilometres from
Alghero on the road which leads to Porto Conte. It is an extremely
interesting settlement consisting of a complex nuraghe, the so called
palace, surrounded by at least 50 "huts" which
 are mostly circular. The main
tower of the nuraghe which still has its dome shaped ceiling dates back to
1100 years BC. The
complex, which was abandoned in the 5th century BC, due to fire, shows the
different phases of social life and political organization of the tribal
community.Of extreme
interest is the "Reunion Hut" where political debates and magical-religious
cults were held. The findings from Palmavera may be seen in Sassari at the
Sanna Museum. |
