Necropolis of Su Crucifissu Mannu, Prehistoric necropolis in Porto Torres, Italy.
The necropolis contains 22 rock-cut tombs with multiple chambers, featuring entrance wells, corridors, and interconnected burial rooms carved into limestone formations.
Constructed during the Late Neolithic period around 3200 BCE, the burial site remained continuously used until the Bronze Age, spanning approximately 1700 years.
The Domus de Janas, meaning Fairy Houses, represent ancient Sardinian burial practices with their intricate architectural designs and funeral arrangements.
The archaeological site is accessible through an unpaved road branching from kilometer 224 of State Road 131 toward Porto Torres.
Archaeological excavations revealed human skulls with trepanation marks, indicating advanced surgical procedures performed on individuals who survived these operations.
