About
The Nuraghe Adoni is a Nuragic complex dating back to the Bronze Age located in the municipality of Villanova Tulo in the province of Cagliari. The site is located on a hill at the center of the historic region of Sarcidano.

At the site there several artifacts were found such as ceramics and a fragment of a bronze loop of the Schnabelkanne type.
