833 IT - Su Nuraxi di Barumini (1997)

Brief Description

"During the late 2nd millennium B.C. in the Bronze Age, a special type of defensive structure known as nuraghi (for which no parallel exists anywhere else in the world) developed on the island of Sardinia. The complex consists of circular defensive towers in the form of truncated cones built of dressed stone, with corbel-vaulted internal chambers. The complex at Barumini, which was extended and reinforced in the first half of the 1st millennium under Carthaginian pressure, is the finest and most complete example of this remarkable form of prehistoric architecture."
巴鲁米尼的努拉格

"公元前2000年后期的铜器时代，一种特殊类型的防御建筑在撒丁岛修建起来，这就是举世无双的努拉格。这一综合结构包括用 修琢的石头堆砌而成的锥状环型防御塔，以及在塔内用梁托支撑成的套间。这一坐落在巴鲁米尼的综合结构，由于受迦太基人的压力，直到公元1000年中叶还在 修整和加固，是史前同类形式建筑中修建得最好和保存最完整的典范。"
