Giants' grave of Su Mont'e s'Abe

The Giants' grave of Su Mont'e s'Abe extends 28 meters in length and 6 meters in width, featuring stone slabs arranged in an elongated burial chamber structure.

The structure transformed from an allée couverte tomb during the Bonnanaro culture to a giants' tomb in the Nuragic period around 1600 BC with additional architectural elements.

The tomb represents the collective burial practices of the Nuragic civilization, demonstrating the social organization and funeral customs of ancient Sardinian communities.

The archaeological site underwent restoration in the 1960s and now stands at coordinates 40.8756612 latitude and 9.4840493 longitude in the Olbia municipality.

The transformation of the burial structure included the addition of an exedra and a central stele, marking a significant architectural evolution in prehistoric Sardinian construction methods.
