Villanovaforru, Nuraghe Genna Maria

Nuraghe Genna Maria

Nuraghe Genna Maria is a Nuragic complex located in Villanovaforru, South Sardinia, dating back to the Final Bronze Age. The Nuragic civilization, which lasted in Sardinia from approximately 1800 BCE to 238 BCE, is known for its stone towers called "nuraghi". These structures served various functions, including defensive, residential, and ritual purposes. Genna Maria, like many nuraghi, was strategically built on a hilltop, providing a vantage point over the surrounding landscape.
