5 towers.

In conclusion we suggest a visit to
nuraghe Palmavera which is on the road that links the Gulf of Alghero to the Gulf of Porto Conte.

Nuraghe Palmavera - Alghero |

The nuraghe Palmavera complex consists of
an ancient tower to which an irregular elliptical shaped fascia and a second tower connected to a
central courtyard were added later.
The whole complex is surrounded by a barbican with 4 towers, around which there was the ancient
village.
|
There are other numerous nuraghi which
are worthwhile visiting, but obviously, we can not mention them in these few lines.
If you want to visit or get further information about the nuragic civilization, we suggest to you
read the various editions of the guides to ancient Sardinia, where it is possible to find pleasant
routes through the most famous and best preserved nuraghi.
