Prunittu Domus de Janas
Prunittu Domus de Janas submitted by francescomanconi : A tomb with framed entrance. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Cut Tombs in Sardinia (Sardegna). The necropolis consists of approximately 15 “domus de janas” (Sardinian neolithic rock cut tombs).

The tombs have the entrance generally facing south / southwest. There are several cell plant profiles: straight, curved, straight-curved. The walls and ceilings are generally of a straight profile and the corners are always rounded. The most interesting tomb is the number X, called "Sa Cresia" (the Church): it is a multi-celled tomb with a large irregular trapezoidal plant. On the back wall of the room, raised from the floor, two doors open to the next rooms. Above the central door stands out - in relief - a very precious "false architrave".
The necropolis, dating to the last Neolithic - Eneolithic, probably saw a re-use in the Byzantine period.
