Tomba dei giganti di Sa Domu 'e s'Orcu

The monument extends for 15.20 meters with an 18-meter-wide exedra and features a rectangular funerary chamber built with large basalt blocks.

Dating between 1500 and 1300 BCE, this megalithic gallery grave belongs to the Nuragic civilization that constructed approximately 800 similar tombs across Sardinia.

The tomb structure reflects prehistoric Sardinian architectural elements, including a characteristic bull-protome shape and a semicircular closure in the posterior section.

Located at an altitude of 355 meters above sea level, the site maintains its original flooring made of river pebbles where ancient remains were placed.

The funeral chamber contains a distinctive niche on its left section, designed to hold burial offerings, and preserves fragments of Middle Bronze Age pottery.
