Nuraghi are circular structures made of stone that are found only in Sardinia, and have come to represent the island's culture. Some are as old as 1000 BC, and some are more than 65 feet tall. About 8000 still exist today on the island. The unique design of the Nuraghi, which is like that of a beehive, can only be found in Sardinia. The exact use of the buildings is still unknown today. I had the opportunity to visit the Nuraghi with the other BEC exchange students, who are mostly all from Australia. They are very fun to get lost in, despite getting in trouble from sneaking away from the tour group. Oops!
Very interesting and mysterious. Hmmmm. Love, Aunt Eileen
