Nuraghe Costa Funtanas

Nuraghe Costa Funtanas is a ancient Nuragic tower right on the outskirts of Cagliari, giving you a rare chance to get up close to one of Sardinia's iconic Bronze Age structures without trekking deep into the countryside. These stone towers are unique to Sardinia — built by a civilization that flourished here over 3,000 years ago — and this one sits in a surprisingly accessible urban fringe setting. It's the kind of spot that sneaks up on you, a chunk of prehistoric engineering tucked into the modern city's edge.
