Necropolis of Mesu 'e Montes

The necropolis contains 18 multi-chambered tombs carved into limestone rock, arranged along two wings separated by a pathway at Monte Mamas slopes.

The burial site dates from the 3rd millennium BCE, spanning from Late Neolithic through Bronze Age periods with extensive use by prehistoric Sardinian populations.

The tombs display architectural elements that replicate Neolithic huts, including decorative patterns, bull protomes, columns, and false doors carved into rock walls.

Located 7 kilometers from Ossi town center, the archaeological site requires following tourist signs on Santa Maria di Cea road to reach the pedestrian path.

Tombs III and XVI exhibit transitional features toward Giants' tombs design, with carved stone steles at entrances matching later Nuragic burial structures.
