In Greek legend, the mythological inventor and master builder Daedalus built the ancient towers of Sardinia. If that is true, then the builder of the Minotaur labyrinth on Crete and designer of the wings for his son Icarus had his hands full here. Anyone who crosses Sardinia constantly encounters the so-called Nuraghi. The squat towers were once stacked together from roughly hewn stones without mortar using the dry stone wall technique.
