The shots here are from our visit to the 'Su Nuraxi' Nuragic archaeological site at Barumini in mid-Sardinia.
Like most places I visit, I never knew anything about 'Su Nuraxi' or the ancient Nuragic civilisation of Sardinia before visiting the place which allowed me to more directly/aesthetically experience it (if this makes any sense):
Have just found out from the Internet that 'Su Nuraxi' consists of a bastion ('nuraghe') of four corner towers plus a central one and a village, with the bastion being said to date back to 1700 BC and the village said to have been inhabited between the 13th and 6th centuries BC.
Was able to survey the surrounding yellow fields from the top of the bastion:
Below, you get a sense of the atmosphere inside the 'nuraghe', a sense of going back deep in time:
I guess that the part of the 'nuraghe' below may have had a religious function:
And here, we have a panoramic shot blending in the 'nuraghe' with the surrounding landscape:
