Tomba dei giganti di Su cuaddu 'e Nixias
Tomba dei giganti di Su cuaddu 'e Nixias, Bronze Age burial site in Lunamatrona, Italy.
The tomb features a 10-meter corridor chamber built with local marly rocks and covered with a flat stone roof arrangement.
The site originated in the Late Eneolithic period between 2400-2100 BC, starting as a small stone cist surrounded by four stone slabs.
The burial site reflects the funeral practices of ancient Sardinian communities through its monumental sandstone stele and curved exedra construction.
Archaeological artifacts discovered at the site are displayed at the Genna Maria Archaeological Museum in the nearby town of Villanovaforru.
A circular hole in the upper part of the stele led to the name Su cuaddu e Nixias, referring to a local tale of horse tethering.
