Nuraghe Rumanedda
The Nuraghe Rumanedda is a Nuraghe of the Monotorre type. It is located near Via Palau in Tottubella in the province of Sassari in Sardinia .
The nuraghe already contained in 1901 in the “Charta des Nura Nuragografica” by Philippo Nissardi (1852–1922) was mentioned in 1922 due to the presence of a source inside and presented in 1989 by P. Basoli in the exhibition catalog “Sassari, the Origins”. It was examined by Paolo Melis, who published it in Nuovo Bullettino in 1992.
The nuraghe has several interesting architectural elements. The Tholosnuraghe has a tower made of roughly hewn trachyte rock . It has a diameter of 12.0 meters and a remaining height of about 6.0 meters. The south-east facing entrance leads into the paved corridor. Opposite the stairs, a room opens up on the right-hand side, which is marked by steps. From a communication from 1922 it is known that this now blocked access leads to a chamber under the nuraghe in which there was a well. On the left side of the corridor is the staircase covered with a pointed arch, which is accessible and leads up with 13 well-preserved steps. The round chamber of 4.3 m in diameter has three niches arranged in a cross shape. The niches on the right and left have a semi-elliptical shape, while the middle niche is narrow and partially gone. On the upper floor of the tower, a narrow, descending staircase opens in the middle, which leads to a landing above the entrance. Above the right niche is a room that was recently discovered and was originally lit by a small square slot.
