Dualchi (Nuoro)
Nuraghe Ponte
In the heart of Sardinia, outlined on a basaltic plateau, Nuraghe Ponte is a Nuragic tower that remained the focus of a settlement for centuries.
A TOWER ON THE PLATEAU
The complex stands at Dualchi, in central Sardinia, on the eastern edge of the Abbasanta basaltic plateau.
The nuraghe dominates the valley below and offers wide visual control, in one of the areas with the highest density of Nuragic monuments.
The nuraghe consists of a single tower; around it developed a settlement frequented and transformed for centuries.
The complex continued to live in Punic, Roman and late antique times.
