Area archeologica di Sa Figu, Prehistoric burial site in Ittiri, Italy.

The Area Archeologica di Sa Figu contains multiple chambers carved into rock formations, featuring detailed stone circles and intricate passage layouts throughout the complex.

Dating from 3400 to 2700 BC, these tombs were constructed during the late Neolithic period by the San Ciriaco and Ozieri cultures of ancient Sardinia.

The name Domus de Janas translates to Houses of the Fairies in Sardinian language, reflecting local traditions connected to these prehistoric burial grounds.

The archaeological site is accessible via a dirt road extending 3.5 kilometers from Via Berlinguer at the edge of the residential area of Ittiri.

The interior chambers display carved symbols including spirals and geometric patterns, with specific tombs featuring U-shaped bull horns above stone entrances.
