About

The Nuraghe Adoni is a Nuragic complex dating back to the Bronze Age located in the municipality of Villanova Tulo in the province of Cagliari. The site is located on a hill at the center of the historic region of Sarcidano. The first excavations of the site date back to the mid-nineteenth century and were resumed several times in the 1990s.

The entire complex consists of a nuraghe composed of a central tower and a quatrefoil bastion, surrounded by a village. At the site there several artifacts were found such as ceramics and a fragment of a bronze loop of the Schnabelkanne type.
