The central Nuraghe tower of Losa is about 13 m high today but its original height would have would have been at least 20 m. To this central tower three minor towers are joined to each other by masonry that encases construction. The ogive Tholos roof of the main tower is still in tact. A with all Nuraghe the size of the stones used in the construction of Nuraghe Losa were huge. The incredibly thick walls allowed the nuraghe to reach incredible heights, only surpassed in the Mediterranean by the pyramids at Giza.
