On the island of Sardinia, there are more than 7000 stone towers called Nuraghi. These monuments were built during the Bronze Age (3000-3500 years ago). Many tower Nuraghi have several floors with an interior staircase, with a corbeled dome at the top. Some Nuraghi have secret rooms. No one knows for sure what Nuraghi were used for.
