Nuraghe Losa is a complex prehistoric building in the shape of a tholos tomb located in Abbasanta, Italy. Its central structure has a triangular shape, and a turreted wall is linked to the west side.

The central tower was built in the 14th century BC, while the surrounding walls and towers were built in the 13th century BC. These walls enclose the settlement of the original village of huts and other additional buildings constructed in the late Punic, imperial Roman, late Roman, and high Middle Ages periods.
