The Protonuraghe Corongiu Maria (also Corongiu'e Mari ) is located above the Lago del Flumendosa east of Nurri in the province of Sud Sardegna in Sardinia .

The round Protonuraghe Corongiu Maria is a good example of an archaic Protonuraghe (also corridor or pseudonuraghe, Italian Nuraghe a corridoio ) with a cantilever vault - corridor through the center of the structure and entrances at both ends. The east entrance has collapsed, but the triangular west entrance is in good shape.
