The nuraghe San Pietro, is located on the top of a hill in the immediate outskirts of the town of Ussaramanna and takes its name from the church of the same name which has now disappeared.
It is a four-lobed type nuraghe, formed by circular towers connected to each other by rectilinear curtain walls. Four distinct excavation campaigns have highlighted the presence of a central tower, better preserved than the rest of the building which reaches a height of 7 meters and consists of a circular chamber, built with sandstone blocks, in which two niches open.
The entrance opens with a large corridor with an ogival roof, now partially collapsed, and to its left are the remains of a staircase that was used to access the upper floors.
Subsequent excavations have highlighted, outside the nuraghe, rectangular rooms whose layout probably dates back to the Roman age.
