Domus de Janas of Sedini

The Domus de Janas consists of burial chambers carved into a limestone rock formation, displaying traditional farming tools and household items from past centuries.

Originally constructed as a prehistoric tomb during the Neolithic period, this structure later served as a residence for farmers and a prison until the 1800s.

The name Domus de Janas translates to 'house of the fairies' in Sardinian language, reflecting regional folklore about these ancient burial structures.

Located at Via Nazionale 35 in Sedini, the museum received 5,600 visitors in 2021 and offers complete wheelchair accessibility throughout its 250-square-meter exhibition space.

The structure combines both a prehistoric burial site and an ethnographic museum, presenting artifacts from different historical periods within the same limestone formation.
