This should give us a clue as to what a nuraghe entails. Normally just one central tower, however, this large one had two extra rings of towers with families living outside the walls. What puzzles us is that these nuraghe (7000 found and only on Sardinia) date back before the Phoenicians. Why were they so defensive back then?
