Il Nuraghe Succuronis, a Macomer, è un monotorre che “conserva intatto il suo fascino grazie alla sua posizione da cui si staglia nel cielo del Marghine. La sua costruzione ha seguito uno schema composito. Nella parte bassa si nota l'utilizzo di grandi massi irregolari che diventano sempre più piccoli e squadrati nel salire verso la parte alta. All'esterno sono presenti delle piccole aperture, poste quasi a spirale che permettono alla luce di filtrare all'interno. --------------------------------- 3700 anni fa, in Sardegna, sono state costruite circa 10 mila torri di pietra. Delle mega torri che, in alcuni, casi erano alte addirittura 30 metri. «In effetti i nuraghi da trenta metri sono le costruzioni più alte del pianeta dopo le piramidi egizie. Sono il simbolo della straordinaria capacità architettonica della civiltà sarda dell'epoca» dice Paolo Alberto, accogliendoci a Cagliari al museo Nuragica, che ci porta nella preistoria sarda: mille anni prima della fondazione di Roma. È in quest'epoca, tra il 1700 e il 1800 a.C., che in Sardegna vengono costruiti questi edifici di pietra - "nuraghi" da nur, "mucchio di pietre ma anche cavità" - con mura larghe anche 4 metri! Alcuni erano a due o più piani, con camere circolari sovrapposte. Ed erano delle vere fortificazioni, con una torre centrale e altre intorno, circondate da cinta murarie: un po' come i castelli medievali, pur essendo più antichi di quasi 3000 anni! I nuraghi venivano costruiti lungo il litorale dell'isola, in prossimità di approdi e foci di fiumi e torrenti: le vie naturali verso l'interno del paese. Ma anche sulla cima dei colli, a difesa dei pascoli. Insomma, in posizioni strategiche per il controllo del territorio. Erano infatti come delle “fattorie fortificate” che, oltre a sorvegliare il territorio, servivano come depositi per accatastare le risorse alimentari: cereali in particolare. Ancora oggi in Sardegna puoi ammirarne alcuni, come il nuraghe Nuraxi di Barumini, Patrimonio dell'Umanità riconosciuto e tutelato dall'Unesco. Il complesso nuragico Nuraxi di Barumini. Oltre alle imponenti torri di pietra, vi era tutto un mondo che sorgeva intorno a queste costruzioni. Attorno ai nuraghi sorgevano infatti i villaggi di capanne circolari, in pietra, e tetto di legno, col pavimento e le pareti isolate con argilla e sughero. Una capanna speciale era la "capanna delle assemblee"dove si svolgevano le riunioni degli anziani. Era un grande edificio circolare al cui interno ci si sedeva su un sedile che correva lungo tutto il perimetro: lì venivano prese le decisioni per la comunità Alcuni villaggi erano anche dotati di palestre (gymnàsia) dove i più giovani sfoggiavano le loro doti atletiche in prove di corsa, pugilato, lotta e lanci di attrezzi vari. Oltre alla selce e l'ossidiana - pietre con cui venivano realizzati utensili per tagliare, incidere, le punte delle frecce… - la popolazione sarda dell'epoca lavorava con maestria i metalli (piombo, rame…) con cui produceva spade, pugnali, asce, anelli, bracciali, pettini, rasoi, martelli, punte di trapano e i cosiddetti “bronzetti”: piccole sculture che raffiguravano guerrieri, sacerdotesse, pastori e animali (buoi, capre, cervi…). Il piombo veniva usato anche per restaurare gli oggetti in ceramica, come facevano i ceramisti giapponesi con l'oro, però alla fine del 1400. E con la ceramica i sardi preistorici producevano le anfore, usate per commerciare il vino da Cadice a Cartagine. Lungo le rotte del Mediterraneo commerciavano anche i metalli: in lingotti. Insomma, erano abili artigiani, marinai e navigatori. E chi non viaggiava si dedicava all'agricoltura: grano, avena, orzo, legumi, uva, fichi, ciliegie erano alla base dei menu nuragici, insieme ai prodotti dell'allevamento, della caccia e della pesca. Perché i bronzetti sono importanti per lo studio di questo popolo? Oltre al grande valore artistico, queste statue di bronzo hanno aiutato gli studiosi a ricostruire caratteristiche e figure presenti nella società dell'epoca. Le raffigurazioni infatti ci hanno rivelato non solo il "look nuragico" (tuniche corte o lunghe, semplici o con balze, veli, stole e mantelli decorati), ma anche il ruolo di chi indossava certi abiti. Chi aveva il mantello, ad esempio, era il capo villaggio, mentre la sacerdotessa indossava un grande mantello e il cappello a punta. (Da Focus)

Nuraghe: I go back to childhood and I remember the school trips organized to discover these unfoundable, iconic buildings!
This nuraghe is beautiful, also thanks to the excellent colors - very natural - and the beautiful light.
Congratulations Giuseppe and good night!

The colors of Sardinia, round and round, are always extraordinary, let alone if the shooter is someone who knows how to do it and knows how to make the most of the territory even from a historical-cultural point of view (a certain "Emmegiu" for example). Unfortunately, I haven't set foot there since 2007, and at the time I didn't yet have a worthy photographic medium. The nuraghe is extraordinary as it appears more than three-dimensional, and how it contrasts with the sky.

I didn't know this nuraghe, the Nuoro area as well as beautiful has a rich cultural heritage.
We hope that we can, and succeed, also bring out the enormous Nuragic treasure that seems to be at the bottom of the Cabras Pond.
congratulations.
A cordial greeting.

Great photo. Fantastically interesting description to go with it.
I'm beginning to know more about the history of Sardinia than I do about my country.
Special thanks to Emmegiu for this!
Yours sincerely, Delphinus

I read with pleasure the caption accompanying an excellent photo, I am sure that over time we will rewrite the history of the knowledge of these ancient populations, much has already been done but there is still so much to discover to review our current beliefs on some dates and facts that we take for granted but are not at all.
Greetings

Excellent shot that summarizes the peculiarities of Sardinian history and culture: proud and ancient people who have always had a privileged relationship with Nature in general and their territory in particular that they strenuously defend even preserving millenary traditions symbol of a strong identity. The photo, as usual, is perfect both descriptively and chromatically and the explanatory note is well articulated in its excursus.
Sincere congratulations

In the only visit made to Sardinia that dates back to before 1990 in the north of the island I visited sites with nuraghe but I don't remember the place, a nice refresh of history made me very happy, congratulations Giuseppe.
Great proposal

These mysterious constructions preserve intact the mystical attraction to your land. Perhaps this is why they are the symbol of Sardinia par excellence. Incredible colors and sharpness.
Bye gios ;-)
