Tuvixeddu necropolis, Archaeological site on Tuvixeddu hill, Cagliari, Italy
The necropolis contains hundreds of burial chambers carved into limestone rock, featuring both Punic and Roman tombs across an 80-hectare area.
Between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC, Carthaginians created burial chambers accessed through wells reaching depths between two and eleven meters.
The tomb chambers display preserved paintings depicting palm trees, masks, snakes, and geometric patterns that reflect Punic artistic traditions.
The site opens daily with seasonal hours, from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM in winter and 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM during summer months.
DNA analysis of remains from a 2000-year-old burial revealed evidence of Beta thalassemia, connecting to indigenous Sardinian populations.
