Tarrus, Sardinia

[Old Crank]

This is from the central west coast of Sardinia, just outside of Oristano.
Ruins from the Nugaic era, then Phonecians, Romas to Spanish. The tower is a Spanish look out tower from around 1500/1600.
Most of the visible ruins are Roman, pretty large complex with 2-3 baths. Ever wonder if they apreciated the view they got from some of these places. Or was it all just utilitarian.

It was windy.

It's astonishing to see structures that were built thousands of years ago.

7. It is pretty impressive

The work that goes into the Roman settlements is prodigious.
I think this is the largest Roman ruins I have seen before the next one we went to outisde of Cagliari., Nora.
