The street of the Flumendosa valley leads to the Orroli plateau, where the archeological site of the Arrubiu Nuraghe is located. The nuraghe, the only one surrounded by walls with five towers on each side, it’s the biggest one discovered so far. The big archeological complex is made of huge rocks of red basalt, covered by lichens (the word Arrubbiu means indeed red), and overlooked by a 14 m tall central tower. This defense system was able to guarantee the safety of the inhabitants who lived during the XIV century AD in huts surrouding the fortress.
