Necropoli di Monte Siseri

The Monte Siseri necropolis contains four rock-cut tombs carved into pink tuff stone, featuring chambers with decorated walls and ceilings.

Archaeological excavations in 1989 revealed that the necropolis was used from the Late Neolithic to Roman times, between 3200 and 2600 BC.

The main tomb displays painted architecture with bull symbols, false doors, and intricate ceiling designs that reflect ancient Sardinian construction techniques.

Visitors need to walk 800 meters from the parking area to reach the main tomb, which stands at an elevation of 86 meters.

The central chamber includes two square pillars supporting a ceiling decorated with original red and black paintings representing a double-pitched roof.
