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 .

Il castello abbandonato di Toppo | Friuli Venezia Giulia
Ritorniamo finalmente a mostrarvi quante cose ha da offrire la nostra regione: il Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Vi porteremo ad esplorare il castello abbandonato di Toppo, una cittadina in provincia di Pordenone, che fa parte del club dei Borghi più belli d’Italia. In questo video ci concentreremo sul suo castello, che è stato abbandonato in epoca medievale. Per questo motivo la struttura originaria non ha subito modifiche anche se è giunta a noi decisamente in rovina.

Il Nuraghe Loelle di Buddusò - Archeologia della Sardegna
Excavated by Prof. Basoli in 1992, the Nuraghe Loelle looks abnormal in both the complexity of the system that the structure of the interior. The first date of forms and architectural features, we show how the structure is likely to be born as a protonuraghe and later was adapted to the more rounded shapes of the nuraghis evolved. One of the architectural features recognizable as an example of archaism is the use of the various outcrops as support elements both in the walls in the structure. Another detail worthy of note concerns the main entrance of the bastion: This does not open nor a courtyard or on an access corridor on the ground floor of the central tower, but through a flight of steps, spread to the second level - the first floor. The flight of stairs from the entrance to the rear of the structure and, in a clockwise direction, the first floor rooms bringing the customer in the front of the building. At this point, always on the second level, it verges on the SE tower and take a hallway in which you can see even in the case of coverage lintels. This corridor, originally covered, runs through the prospectus of the dolmen reaching up to the western side, where, oddly enough, back down to the first level - the ground floor. Almost half of path we see a flight of stairs from the interior corridor rooms on the second floor - the third level where you open the room of the central tower. We do not know precisely how high the rocks upon which the structure, but the evidence suggests that the central tower is elevated for at least two floors. However, there remain several questions on access and breadth of the rooms on the ground floor and rooms on the first floor, which we can only observe the outer walls. Access to the room of the central tower is preceded by two alleged niches: the left is sub rectangular in shape and very deep, like a sort of corridor, while the right really shows its shape apse and bounded. Outside the rampart, in the SE summit, you can see another situation certainly not common in nuraghis: downhill from the floor, was derived with stone threshold and jambs of several rows of stone, a bedroom with underground tholos , below the entrance - the scale of the complex.
