Biru 'e Concas

Two hundred large carved stones spread across five hectares of land form the Mediterranean's largest concentration of standing stones near Gennargentu mountains.

The stone monuments date from the Late Neolithic period around 3500 BC through the Eneolithic era until 1700 BC, marking different stages of prehistoric development.

The stones, arranged in pairs, triads, circles, and alignments of up to twenty elements, represent fertility symbols and honor ancestral figures of pre-nuragic civilization.

Located 8.5 kilometers from Sorgono village center, the archaeological site sits among forests of conifers, chestnuts, and hazel trees in western Barbagia.

Thirty stones form a double row configuration while 170 others lie on the ground facing west, possibly damaged during sixth-century Christianization campaigns.
