Domus de janas di Bruncu Maddeus, Prehistoric tomb structure in Guspini, Italy.

The Domus de janas di Bruncu Maddeus features a single chamber with an irregular elliptical shape carved into a rock face stretching 70 meters along the road.

Dating between the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC, this pre-nuragic burial site was later repurposed as a defensive shelter during the Second World War.

The northeast-facing entrance and internal chamber design reflect the sophisticated architectural and funeral practices of ancient Sardinian civilizations.

Visitors can reach the burial structure by following an unmarked steep path that starts near a stone wall above the road to Santa Maria di Neapolis.

The internal chamber measures 2.65 meters in length, 3.9 meters in width, and displays ancient stonework techniques through parallel grooves on its vault.
