Although not obvious from this photo the site consists of three towers, meeting (spiritual?) rooms, living accommodation and a well where numerous artefacts were recovered. Reconstructed in 2007

The nuraghe of La Prisciona is currently (Sept 2007) closed to the public for repairs and excavation, likely to continue until at least May 2008.
The new excavations are revealing a whole series of buildings/rooms surrounding the nuraghe which has a triangular base and 3 towers, and a deep well in its courtyard.
The information office at Coddu Vecchju about 900 metres away shows some images of the excavations.
