Tomba dei giganti di Osono, Bronze Age passage grave in Triei, Italy.
Description
Tomba dei Giganti di Osono is a Bronze Age burial structure in Triei featuring a long corridor that leads to a chamber made from large limestone slabs stacked together. The design used massive stones to create a chamber where multiple people could be laid to rest over generations.
History
The tomb began as a burial site during the early Bronze Age and remained in use for approximately 600 years, showing its lasting importance to the Nuragic people. Later modifications to the structure reveal how burial practices changed and adapted over this long period.
