Nuraghic Village of Or Murales (Urzulei)

The or Murales site lies on altitude of 802 metres above sea level near the Or Muflones peak, and it can be reached by taking a path that starts off from the Orientale Road (at km 187, locality Ghenna 'e Petta, in the area managed by the Forest Agency). Here there is a forest of holly oak and juniper trees that over the centuries were used to make the characteristic, uniquely shaped sheep pens. The Nuraghic Village or Murales consists of about 100 dwellings made of limestone that stand on the slope and on broad terraces. Most of these structures are circular, and they are covered with thick vegetation. They are complexes of blocks of apartments arranged around a common courtyard connected to the main entrance. In the dwellings is an elevated section that may be as much as three metres high, and some houses have their entrance architrave. Certain houses, damaged by illegal excavations, yielded postherds of pans with combing decoration and earthen jars with upside-down ell-shaped handles that can be dated to the final phases of the Middle Bronze Age and the late Bronze Age (1500-1000 BC). Among the everyday tools tools that are basalt milestones with longitudinal handles that were probably imported from the neighbouring territory of Baunei. The lack of funerary monuments has led scholars to surmise that the dead were buried in the rock-hewn caves of the Codula de Luna.
