Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju

The necropolis contains 38 tombs carved into sandstone ledges, featuring chambers with elaborate architectural details including pillars, cornices, and false doors.

Archaeological excavations at Anghelu Ruju, initiated in 1903 after a chance discovery, revealed continuous use of the burial grounds from Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age.

The burial chambers, known as domus de janas, contain stone carvings of bull horns and enigmatic symbols connected to Mediterranean religious practices.

Located on SP 42 dei Due Mari, the site accepts visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM with admission prices of 5 euros for adults.

Each tomb chamber preserves red ochre markings and detailed stone carvings that demonstrate the connection between architecture and burial practices of prehistoric Sardinia.
