SolarMegalith visited on 6th Sep 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 Sunset on Nuraghe Casteddu de Fanaris was an unforgettable experience.
The main tower was built probably around 1300 BC. In Late Bronze Age the complex was extended by addition of lateral towers and antemural with further 5 towers. In central part of the complex there was probably a courtyard. It is believed that Casteddu de Fanaris was a center of power in the Late Bronze Age/Iron Age and could be a refugee for the inhabitants of the nearby smaller nuraghi and settlements. The archaeological evidence informs us, that the complex was occupied at least till the 6th century BC.
Nuraghe Casteddu de Fanaris can be reached from the nearby farmstead (the slope is very steep).
