    Nuraghes are ancient stone constructions with a truncated cone shape present, with different concentrations, throughout Sardinia. They are unique in their kind and representative of the Nuragic civilization, which owes its name to them.

      The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" – which I highly recommend – dedicates a 15-minute segment to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the "NURAGHI" in Sardinia and the traditional shepherds' song known there as "Canto a Tenore." The accompanying text for the program states: "Over seven thousand round towers made of stone blocks weighing several tons are scattered throughout Sardinia. Often, only the stumps of these megalithic structures, called nuraghi, remain. The first were built around 1400 BC. Small stones were placed between the massive blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers resistant to collapse."
