Near the Giara plateau, in the central-southern part of Sardinia, rises the symbol par excellence of the Nuragic culture, the only Sardinian cultural site included in the UNESCO World Physical Heritage List.

There is a very special atmosphere in Barumini: since prehistory, the current town has been a center of power and an important reference point for a rich and fertile land, the Marmilla. As a testament to this stands Su Nuraxi, the most imposing (and best preserved of thirty nuragic sites in the Barumini area and the most important legacy left to us by the Torre culture. The archaeological area includes a nuragic complex and a vast village of huts, a unique place declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. The impressive site was unearthed during the mid-20th century excavations led by Giovanni Lilliu.The cultural center is named after the "father" of Sardinian archaeology, and is just a few steps from the Nuraghe is located.

Su Nuraxi is built of basalt, a volcanic rock from the nearby Giara Natural Park. It shows an over the course of two thousand years, from the 16th century BC. to 7th century AD, material was layered on top of each other.
