Also in the area of the Pranu Ozzastru plateau, where the Murtazzolu stream receives the waters of the Cuguttu and Ardalazzu streams, is the Ponte e Frenugarzu nuraghe.
The nuraghe Ponte a tholos looks like a single tower where the circular chamber on the ground floor is intact, the cell on the upper floor can be accessed via the staircase.
Despite the collapses suffered, the Frenugarzu nuraghe of the corridor type still appears as an imposing structure, around it there are sections of wall partly covered by vegetation, these suggest a barricade; a wall extends from the vicinity of the frenegarzu nuraghe which proceeds southwards for a long stretch to then open up with an entrance which is dominated by a large architrave, in this clearing there are no relief structures and the wall again borders with the nuraghe.
The German-language television series “Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity” – which I fully recommend in my opinion – devotes a quarter of an hour to the UNESCO world cultural heritage of the “NURAGHI” in Sardinia and the traditional shepherd’s song there, known as “Canto a Tenore”. The text accompanying the program says “Over seven thousand round towers made of stone pieces weighing tons are scattered all over Sardinia. Often only the stumps of these megalithic buildings, called nuraghi, remain. The first were around 1400 BC. Built. Small stones were placed between the mighty blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers collapse-proof.”
