The towers were usually positioned within sight. Light signals were used to warn of attackers.

The Coltellazzo Tower or Sant'Efisio Tower is a coastal tower in the Gulf of Cagliari. It stands on the top of the promontory overlooking the ruins of the city of Nora, in the municipality of Pula. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torre_del_Coltellazzo

The nuraghi are truncated cone-shaped, squat tower-shaped structures built by the Bronze Age and Iron Age peoples of Sardinia between 1500 and 500 BC, consisting of rows of stones placed on top of each other without a binder, and made with so-called cyclopean masonry. Approximately 7,000 nuraghi have survived on the island; these usually belonged to and protected a smaller territorial unit. The more complex nuraghi are real castles, where the central part is protected by corner towers and thick ramparts; the rooms located on several levels can be reached by internal stairs. In the central part of the Mediterranean region, the nuraghi civilization represented the megalithic tradition.

The German-language television series “Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity” – which I can recommend without reservation – devotes a quarter-hour report 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 to the programme states: “Over seven thousand round towers made of stone blocks weighing several tons are scattered across Sardinia. Often only the stumps of these megalithic buildings, known as nuraghi, remain. The first were built around 1400 BC. Small stones were placed between the mighty blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers safe from collapse."

Very nice square with many restaurants around it. In addition, performances etc. often take place on the square. The surrounding streets are hung with pretty colorful flags.

beautiful bi-lobed nuraghe which dominates the town of Sarroch

A single to ride uphill and downhill, simple and suitable for everyone. Recommended.
