Giants' grave of Sa Dom'è s'Orcu, Bronze Age burial site in Quartucciu, Italy.
Description
The Giants' grave is a Bronze Age burial complex featuring a wide forecourt that opens into a burial chamber where multiple bodies were placed. The internal space has varying ceiling heights from front to back, creating distinct sections.
History
This megalithic tomb was built roughly 3500 years ago during the later Bronze Age, when such monumental burials were common across Sardinia. It represents how burial customs evolved among the island's ancient communities over time.
Culture
The stone monument near the entrance reveals how prehistoric people here marked sacred spaces and honored their deceased through ritual.
Practical
The site sits on a hillside of the Sette Fratelli mountain range and is accessible on foot from nearby areas. It is wise to confirm access conditions with local authorities before planning a visit.
Did you know?
The burial chamber's ceiling gradually lowers toward the back, showing that ancient builders deliberately designed this slope. This thoughtful detail transforms the interior space and may have carried symbolic meaning in their funerary beliefs.
