About

The nuraghe Santu Sciori (also known as Santu Luxori in the Sardinian language or San Lussorio in Italian) is a nuraghe located in the municipality of Pabillonis in Sardinia. It was made in the mid-Bronze Age (1600–1300 BC) and it covers an area of 2,400 square meters. Remains of skeletons have been found near the site indicating a necropolis. 19th-century historian Vittorio Angius described it as important among the big nuraghes of Sardinia.
