Exploring the Necropolis of Su Crucifissu Mannu | Sardinia's Ancient Burial Site

Join me as we explore the ancient Necropolis of Su Crucifissu Mannu, an extraordinary archaeological site located near Porto Torres in Sardinia. This necropolis is home to at least 22 domus de janas (rock-cut tombs), dating back to the Neolithic period (4th millennium BC) and extending into the Copper Age (3rd millennium BC). The site continued to be used until the Bonnanaro culture (1800–1600 BC).

Key features we’ll explore include:

Domus de Janas: These tombs, known as "fairy houses" or "houses of witches", were carved into the rock and served as burial chambers for Sardinia’s prehistoric communities.

Architectural Features: The tombs also include architectural details like false doors, lintels, and steps carved in relief, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the era.

The Necropolis of Su Crucifissu Mannu offers a fascinating glimpse into Sardinia’s ancient burial practices and the spiritual beliefs of its prehistoric people. Join me as we walk through these domus de janas and uncover the stories behind these remarkable rock-cut tombs.
