You approach a ring of stone towers rising from low, rolling hills — squat, stern, and weathered by three millennia. Wind moves over the fields and the small horses of the Giara pick at scrub; the nuraghe’s dark doorway waits at the base of a central keep, reached by an iron ladder that forces you to slow and focus.

4–6 hours (including transport).
Suitable for people in average physical condition able to walk on uneven ground and climb short ladders/stairs
The guided visit to the archaeological complex typically lasts around 60–90 minutes; factor in 4–6 hours total for round-trip transport from Cagliari and tour logistics.
No — the nuraghe has uneven ground, narrow corridors and a ladder to access the central tower, so it is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.
Yes — the archaeological site entrance fee (around €16) is paid at Su Nuraxi and may not be included in some tour prices.
Children can join if accompanied by two paying adults; some sections require close supervision due to steep steps and confined spaces.
Su Nuraxi was constructed in the Bronze Age and expanded over centuries into a multi-towered complex that served both defensive and communal functions.
The site is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; visitors are asked to stay on paths, avoid touching fragile masonry and follow guide instructions to limit wear on ancient stones.
