Nuraghe Maiori

Signposted 2km north of Tempio Pausania along the SS133, this nuraghe is more substantial than the many other ruins that dot the surrounding countryside. A trail leads through fragrant herb gardens to the tower, flanked by chambers on either side. Borrow a headlight at the ticket office to spot clusters of rare lesser horseshoe bats in the pitch-black left-hand chambers. A ramp climbs to an open room at the back, with stairs continuing to the top.
