Protonuraghe in Sardinia (Sardegna). One of the most impressive protonuraghi (corridor nuraghi) in central part of Sardinia is located near the road from Ortueri to Sorgono. This oval-shaped monument has well-preserved internal features including the staircase leading to the upper terrace. The structure is crossed with an open-ended corridor typical for protonuraghi, its masonry consists of large granite stones.

Protonuraghe Talei has been excavated in 1981 – the sherds of the Bronze Age "Sa Turricula" style pottery were discovered.

The monument is not easy to find, as it is surrounded with trees and not signposted. To reach it you have to turn from the road Ortueri-Sorgono towards San Mauro church – the monument is located in your right on slope of the hill. SW from the protonuraghe there are remains of Tomba di Giganti, the megalithic tomb from Nuragic period.
