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.
