Sardinia is a large Italian Mediterranean island with almost 2,000 km of coastline, sandy beaches and a mountainous interior dotted with hiking trails. Scattered across the rugged landscape are thousands of nuraghi - mysterious beehive-shaped stone ruins dating back to the Bronze Age. One of the largest and oldest nuraghi is Su Nuraxi in Barumini, dating from around 1500 BC.
