Barumini borders the following municipalities: Gergei, Gesturi, Las Plassas, Tuili, Villanovafranca. It is home to Su Nuraxi di Barumini, a Nuraghe complex listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
At the center of the Marmilla , in the valley of the river Mannu , at the foot of the Giara , there is a special atmosphere: since prehistoric times Barumini was the main center of a very rich territory, today, populated by about one thousand and 300 inhabitants, it is one of the of the island's most fascinating culture. At the entrance of the town stands a monumental complex that made it famous in the world: on Nuraxi, the only archaeological site in Sardinia declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (1997).
Not only the most impressive (and best preserved) of the thirty nuraghic sites nearby, but above all the most precious legacy that the Nuragic civilization has left us. The archaeological excavations were conducted in the mid-twentieth century by Giovanni Lilliu. The 'father' of Sardinian archaeologists has been named the cultural center a few steps from the nuraghe, where events, concerts and exhibitions (permanent and temporary) of archeology and crafts alternate in an inimitable scenario. Su Nuraxi, entirely made of blocks of basalt, has a stratification of two thousand years, from the sixteenth to the seventh century AD It is a complex nuraghe, consisting of a bastion with a central tower (18 meters high) and four corners, and around a labyrinth of 50 huts (dating back to the Bronze Age), wells and cisterns.
The prehistoric origins of Barumini are also witnessed by another trilobed nuraghe, in the center of the village, dating back to the XVI century BC, the Nuraxi and 'Cresia (' church nuraghe ') come to light during the restoration of Casa Zapata, splendid residence of Aragonese barons (arrived in Sardinia in 1323), built in the middle of 1500, rare example of Hispanic civil architecture of Renaissance inspiration. Since 2006, the noble palace, together with garden and courtyard, are home to a museum pole, which houses two towers of the nuragic monument, visible from above thanks to suspended walkways and transparent floors. In the archaeological section of the museum (managed by the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation), 180 artefacts found in nearby Nuraxi are on display .

Tamuli, un luogo che sembra fuori dal comune - Macomer
Quando dicono che in Sardegna c'è solo il mare, quando sento persone che fanno la fila per vedere 4 pietre in altri luoghi del mondo, quando non si apprezza o non ci si rende conto di quello che si ha.
In quel momento bisognerebbe smettere di dare la colpa agli altri ed andare a visitare questi luoghi magici.
